[OOC] Amnesia [Suki & Summer]

[Rogue Sloth]

Procedure went all right. Hella painful because the anesthetic didn't work, but I'm not in constant pain anymore xD Sad news is that my doctor is pretty sure I'm gonna need a followup surgery next week under general anesthesia. I'm not looking forward to that hospital bill!

On a brighter note, I'm officially done with my undergraduate degree, so I'll have a lot of time to write now, especially while I'm resting up from my surgeries!

[sukikyoufu]

Omg no way!? On the plus side least you are no longer in pain so the initial painful part was worth it I'm sure. That sucks you need a follow up though! Yikes I always forget about medical bills, will it be super expensive?

Omg you've finished it??? CONGRATS!!! Yaaay for more writing hehe.

[Rogue Sloth]

Yeah, fifteen minutes of torture was worth not wanting to shoot myself on the daily XD And I'm pretty sure it'll be really expensive because the American healthcare system is broken. Last time I had a procedure under general anesthesia, I got slapped with a $1000 bill. It'll most likely be the same thing this time, if not more expensive

And thanks! It still hasn't hit me that I don't have due dates for classes anymore, but I'm glad to be done ^^

[sukikyoufu]

WHAT!? That's like a monthly salary for some!! That is so crazy what the hell!! It always shocks me the price of bills for important medical stuff :/

I bet it must feel surreal not having to do any of it! Will that be it for the meantime or are you going to go into anything more? :)

[Rogue Sloth]

Yep, it's pretty common for people here to be charged with bills so high, they go bankrupt ^^; I'm lucky because my procedure wouldn't require me to stay in the hospital overnight. I've heard of some cases in which people have to be admitted longer and come away owing $10-20K+. Compared to that, $1000 is chump change.

One time I went to the hospital for severe migraines. I was only there for literally thirty minutes before they released me with a prescription for painkillers and I got charged a little over $100 for the visit. It's awful.

As for my schooling, I'm not going to graduate school because in my field, graduate degrees are just for people who want to teach at a university. I'm fully done unless I decide to take a few classes for fun here and there at my local community college :) I'm thinking about learning sign language

[sukikyoufu]

Yikes! That's got to be so horrible :(

I'm super lucky with the NHS, not that I go to the doctor or hospital for that matter because I'm not a huge fan and they really freak me out so usually I just deal with it myself. Luckily I've never had anything serious.

I just feel so bad for you guys with that kind of bill from needing something to keep you healthy, it really sucks :/

Ohh sign language will be pretty cool! I'd love to learn that! But wow, completely done of projects now!!

[Rogue Sloth]

Yeah, it's a lot. That's why so many people here want to see the healthcare system reformed. I can relate to not wanting to see the doctor too, haha. I rarely visit, but I have a few health issues that make me go in sometimes ^^; namely my migraines and asthma, but also a few other disorders I had in the past and some acute issues. I wasn't lucky enough to be born with healthy genes, I guess lol For most other things, I just stay home and ride it out with over-the-counter medicines though.

Also, I need to get caught up on posts for a couple other RPs, so I may take a little while to write back. Just so you know! :)

[sukikyoufu]

I hope you get a healthcare system! It sounds like it is definitely needed over there for sure! Oh gosh that's not good!

Hey no worries! Take your time! I only replied now because I am getting sleep haha. I've been so tired lately it's been quite a nuisance.

[Rogue Sloth]

Finally got done :) How are you doing too? Are you still tired?

[sukikyoufu]

Yaaay!

How are you feeling today? I hope no more pain!

I'm still exhausted, this week has really caught up with me if I'm honest.

[Rogue Sloth]

I'm doing alright! Still a tiny bit sore from my procedure, but it's nothing compared to what it felt like before. My doctor did call today though and said I should have a second surgery done next week to make sure I don't get worse again ^^; She already called the surgeon to give them my referral.

Aw, that sucks. Get lots of rest! I hope you feel better

[sukikyoufu]

Oh perfect!! I hope that means it will go smoothly next week for you! Then no more pain for the foreseeable future, fingers crossed.

I'll try! I'm excited for the weekend off, I may sleep through it all with how I'm feeling.

[Rogue Sloth]

I wouldn't blame you if you did, haha. Sounds like you need it!

I'm going out of town to see my parents again this weekend, so I may not be online very much, just so you know! I'll be bringing my laptop, but how much I can write will depend on how busy I am while I'm there :)

[sukikyoufu]

I already want to go to bed hahaha.

Ohhh nice! I hope you have a good visit at least! No worries, I have some housework I need to catch up on. As well as sleep haha xD

[Rogue Sloth]

Managed to squeeze in one post before bed!

And thanks! Good luck catching up on your housework :)

[sukikyoufu]

Nice one!

Thank you haha, it's going terrible but I did some ironing! I hope you have a lovely weekend at your parents :)

[Rogue Sloth]

It's been good! We celebrated my graduation yesterday and then Mother's Day today ^^
Now my husband and I are going to get ready to head back up to our home in about an hour

[sukikyoufu]

Oh nice!! I'm glad it was good!

How is graduation going to work? Isn't there usually a ceremony? If you don't mind me asking ^^

[Rogue Sloth]

My internet got weird right when I was trying to upload that post. Hopefully it doesn't create a duplicate like it did the last time ^^;

Graduation got cancelled, but my friends and I want to throw a party to celebrate later on in the summer if it's possible. A lot of us just graduated last week, so we're trying to do something as long as it's safe

[sukikyoufu]

It all looked good!

Also I won't be able to post tonight. I don't feel great at all so I'll probably just get some sleep. Just thought I would let you know!

Ahh that sucks hopefully you get to celebrate your graduation in style!
