Last night
I posted in the community help forum about my son who is 29 being in the ER with what looks like a mini stroke I asked for and received a lot of love hugs and prayers and info I thank everyone.
Last night was stress still is
Now I share my anger At Trump and The GOP because while entourage to my son and talking to him on the phone I knew what he was describing wasn’t right for him or anyone I asked him if instead of us getting him and taking him to either the walk in clinic or the ER we should call the ambulance you know what my son said
“ I can’t afford an ambulance” ( he makes pretty good money but not to long ago bought a house and poor kid everything has gone wrong (1) t boned car accident because he turned around to help another
person that had went in the ditch and was hurt that was 2 months after he bought his house then pipes bursting needed floors replaced then his air conditioning United had a problem needed it replaced and several other small things so his savings is being eaten up.
But regardless “I can’t afford it” I think with single payer it would not be a worry of if you can afford it.
Anyhow for his worry I said let’s go to the nearest walk in knowing they’d send him on to ER and they did by ambulance I told him ambulance fast tracks you in to ER
I knew it was bad when I met him and his sister at the clinic & had to help him in and he couldn’t walk we had to grab a wheel chair for me ambulance in front seat is no fun.
Again grrrr stupid T & GOP cutting health care now he will have to worry about previous conditions.
Forgive my ramble I have been up for over 24 hours need more hot coffee ( hubby brought some but it was cold by time he got here)
Also forgive me on my iPhone and it’s hard to see everything your writing.
= new reply since forum marked as read
Your son is probably more worried and frightened than you. So staying calm and reassuring will be so helpful for your son's recovery. Money and houses are impermanent things that can eventually be replaced if need be. But your son's health and recovery are the top priority.
Don't be embarrassed to ask the Dr if he will take your son as a pro bono charity case. My cousin has stage 4 cancer and is a charity case. So it does happen. Please keep us updated about his progress.
