61. OMG Solly! I am so sorry you had to go through something so frightening and then

Fri Sep 17, 2021, 02:42 PM

Sep 2021

such an ordeal to get treated! I am so glad things worked out for you and so grateful to the healthcare professionals who took good care of you!

And so effing angry at those stupid, worthless unvaccinated idiots who are taking up valuable healthcare space and resources which is preventing people like you and others from getting the urgent care they need precisely when they need it. I am not even going to say what I feel like saying because it's awful.

I am just glad to hear that you survied and that you are on the mend. Please take care of yourself. Sending good vibes and healing thoughts!
