friday with a side of injuries

Ack. The poor Ant has broken her toe this morning and is in agony. Thankfully, the beyond awesome stacymckenna is on her way to help out, which is a huge relief.

I must think of something or some way to adequately say thank you.

Having friends that are supportive is a blessing beyond description and beyond price.

This on top of the fact that I jacked up my hip this week is just icing on top of the cake. I managed to get my hip working again (the healing power of yoga), but dude, it's like this week has been gunning for us. Now I'm worried about the husband.

Stupid dance show was on last night with their fifteen top dances from the last five seasons, so I did not get photo editing done. Sue me. It is my weakness. I did get some transcription/cutting done on the novel. Another 1K went down. Only 21K to go.

And now back to it.

Has anyone had any experience with the Venice Family Clinic on Rose in Venice? Apparently they won't even see her unless a) she calls and makes the appointment herself and b) qualifies in some arcane manner.

I'm going to need to take the Ant to the doctor for the foot. It's not the toe. It's the foot.

Also trying to get her enrolled in Medi-Cal.

Yeah.

We don't need fucking health care reform. Hell no. That's why I'm worried sick right now. Because my fucking job won't let me put her on my insurance.

Yeah.

My tax dollars are so much more better spent on three different war fronts that I absolutely don't give a shit about.

I'm going to completely lose it if no one will give her assistance because she lives with us and takes care of the kids. On top of that, even if she qualifies, the soonest they can see her is in *two weeks*. So we'll probably end up at the fucking emergency room either tonight or tomorrow anyway and I'll be busting out my old EMT training tonight.

Y'know, I sometimes regret that I washed out of becoming a paramedic, but at times like these, I'm glad I've got the training for these sorts of things. The system sure as shit isn't designed to help anyone without money or in trouble.

It's fucking wrong.

What the fuck is wrong with my country? If you can't help the sick and the injured, what the fuck good are you?
