I am gratefully for the help I was getting when I was sick - and even more in favor of a strong universal health care than I was before I got sick. And I am also very glad I was able to get out of the hospital - when I was healthy enough to do it - I have to say - when I was walking out of the hospital - to a friend of me who I asked to pick me up - it was wonderfully to feel the sun on my face - and to be able to walk in the fresh air again.. I could not get out of the hospital fast enough . The body is tired, but the mind is where it want to be again - but it will take some time before I am up and running again I am afraid. At least as I was before..
I have not the financial resources to weather a 3 week hospitalization, specially as the doctors was not really sure at first wat it was - specially with the lungs - they was afraid it was a blood cloth, who is dangerous in itself - but the kidney really scared the hell out of them - and they used a lot of time and medication to "start up" the kidney again... A lot of IV drip was needed before the kidney started to work as it should do - and as I have just one who work properly - it was paramount that it started working again... Then they had to work on my pneumonia that was rather unfriendly to me - and it was little tricky to get the right medication to it as it was not a "normal" pneumonia but something they said was an a-typical pneumonia.. And that was just the think the first hospital had to fix... And it was not before the last couple of days, that the kidney really was up to speed, and was doing as it should do....
The faster the US is getting rid of the "for profit" aspect of healt care, the faster americans can get universial health care for everyone - but I am afraid the system is rather corrupt - and it wil take a long, long time before US wil getting universial health care for everyone... If something are not shanging then...
