  • It was the ER just checking for a break. Entire foot was swollen, couldn’t put any pressure on it, etc.

    I’ve moved and never set up a new PCP either. The billing alone has put me off healthcare. I spend about 2 hours a month dealing with a prescription. The ER billing has been crazy too, spent a few hours talking to various billing depts, getting bill weekly for things that were paid for, etc.

    I can’t wait for this US system to be replaced.






  • Two related to accuracy when I was a kid:

    From about 100 feet at dusk I chucked a rock at a phone pole and pegged it. My dad was with me and said “bet $20 you can’t do that again”

    Chucked another and pegged it again.

    Next was soccer. I wasn’t great but I also wasn’t awful. We were getting smeared by an older team we were scrimmaging against, coach had me as center mid field instead of forward or goalie.

    Ball was being contended just ahead of midfield on the left side. It squirted out, and headed to me. I took a few strides forwards it, had no one to pass to and was not going to be able to dribble it up field.

    I took at at the goal and kicked my hardest.

    It had a high arch. The goalie looked ready to get it, but it came nearly straight down right in front of the goal crossbar, and the goalie wasn’t in a good enough position to jump high enough to block it. Very lucky kick and bad positioning of the goalie.
