Really? $1.6K JUST for a follow-up appointment with the pulmonologist? I mean, at least it's not $25K... again, but trying not to die in America is just absurdly expensive.

been coughing for four hours straight, can't sleep, lungs will eat me

hospital called me to be like, "can you come in right now to see if you qualify for medicaid?" no, too sick "okay, well, you're being uncooperative so we're going to close your account to see if you quality for financial assistance." Okay, fuck you too, UVA.

G'morning! Nice day for fishin', ain't it? Huh-huah!

"Hey, how you feeling? You doing alright?" *detailed response of the health challenges he's dealing with* *no response* This keeps happening, and it's bumming me out. Don't ask how I'm doing if you don't really wanna know, and then ignore me. I'm sick as fuck, and this makes me feel worse. =/

Why can't I be a sylveon in real life? Shit's unfair, yo.

Krystal with a bandana. Because bandana

Okay, so these Ricola cough drops taste so good I have a hard time not eating them like candy. Which isn't a bad thing, because it helps my throat, but still.

Kind of like how we remember, but more gigantic >:3

I found my CT scans online via the hospital's website, and I can't stop looking at the nightmare pictures that are my lungs. I'd post them here, but I can't seem to spoiler images and I don't wanna give anyone the heebie jeebies.

I want to give a special shoutout to @felisrandomis.bsky.social. She's been taking care of me, helping me with everything while I'm sick. She's cancelled art streams (where she makes her money) and sacrificed a lot to drive me to the hospitals, and has never left my side. Ohana. You are family.

Oof, first ER visit bill hit today. $5.1K.

The greatest thing I've learned in life is to let things go. No matter the regrets, the "I wish I hads," and the painful memories of the past, I can not change what has been, only what will be. To dwell on the past is to let grief consume you. All you can do is be the version you moving forward.

getting real anxiety about tomorrow. heck.

surgical unit is prepped for 10:30am tomorrow, and I finally get answers to what's been happening to me for near the past two months.

Thai iced boba tea is a healing elixir.

Pro negotiator! Doodle for Tarooki

Here I was thinking I was going to live.

Excuse me while I go throw myself in front of a train.

Pulmonologist: This is what a CT scan of healthy lungs are supposed to look like. *picture of normal lungs* Me: Uh huh. Pulmonologist: And this is what your lungs look like. *screenshot of the Reaper invasion from Mass Effect 3*

Appointment didn't go as planned. Same answer as before. What you have is too serious for us to treat right away. I'm gonna have to be put under anesthesia for a full biopsy. This shit is far more serious than I had hoped. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

Waiting for my main appointment now. Prelim tests are done. Lost another 15lbs since my last weigh in earlier in July.

I'm off to the specialist to hopefully get the answers and the cure I sorely need.

Appa! YIP YIP!

36 hours until my doctor visit excite NERVOUS but excite

went to go put on some clean clothes, and i've been winded for like 10 minutes over a simple task. i feel like my lungs have the air capacity of one of those screaming chickens

god, i wish I could draw right now, because I just had the best art idea and i need it to be a reality. a gummy vaporeon, but themed like a blue gummy shark big white creamy belly, gummy, slightly transparent rest of their body

ADHD problems: did I take the tylenol or just think about taking them? I literally can not remember what I just did.

[Minor EDF6 Spoilers] Sargent: "Every one of you in this room is weak. A coward. Not a single one of you is a soldier." Me, in the back, the very guy who killed God himself in the last game: "... nani?"

Posting a copy of my initial diagnosis when they thought it was just pneumonia. Wanted to provide some transparency so many have put their trust and kindness in me.

i haven't really eaten anything today, but my brain wants a lasagne, but instead of a layer of noodles, it's mac and cheese. otherwise, everything else is layered in the same.

Piss off, Microsoft. That's not how art works, you freezer burned bluescreening hot pockets.

Specialist called to ask if I was gonna need financial aid, as this "could easily start out in the five figure range." and the snarky side of me wanted to respond, "No, no, no aid for me. I have one of those giant crayons filled with loose change. I got this." (Of course I said yes)

I'm stuck in A/B hell. YouTube removed every "viewed" notification on videos 5+ years and older in an attempt to get me to re-watch shit. Watched three videos and I was like... I'm sure I've seen these, and I had. It's hard enough finding new content on YouTube, I don't wanna be force fed re-runs.

A furry made the COVID vaccine. Now another one is curing cancer. I think a lot of you fuckers need to start googling fursuits for the good of humanity.

i really don't mind if people send me well wishes, they're appreciated, but it's like... everybody is ignoring that my Telegram name says "No DMS, sick." just to chat i have the social energy of a sundried caterpillar right now, PLEASE respect the no. again, all the love to well wishers, I see you

My banana is so small it should have "trial size" written on the side.

oh my god, the pulmonologist got back to me, i'm not gonna die... i'm not gonna die.. i can't stop crying

why does every cough medicine have to have like a gallon of menthol? that shit burns to drink. it's physically painful to me

i don't know why, but after every single video, youtube keeps trying to play an entire movie (Strange Brew). Doesn't matter what I watch, Youtube's like "you will watch this movie."

Ordered essentials on DoorDash (gatorade, ginger ale) and things for being sick. Get a notice my order was delivered... but it never showed, so I message Doordash and have them replace the order. Then the first order shows up, and then the second. Ended up getting a bunch of shit for free.

had a weird fever dream I was at Disney World and everybody was drinking dhole whips, and they were literally fruity drinks with dhole butts sticking out of the top
