woot! I heard from Worker's comp! they have contacted a neurologist and they have issued me checks and I'll start getting them weekly after this. Woot!
But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

NICE! I love to see it, askye.
I thought fully vaxxed kids did NOT have to quarantine
I think it varies by county/state and I hope you've heard back by now, but my fully vaxxed niece wasn't required to quarantine when her partially vaxxed younger sister tested positive for COVID.
I have used them, repeatedly. Good service, no problems.
Can confirm, I've been using Project N95 for a while now and have been passing the link around to my family who are still willing to mask.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The school never did call me back, and I figure there are only two more days of school this year anyway, so whatever, she can stay home.

Very important and a big win, askye!
I realize that I've not been the poster child of appropriately treated brain injuries with medical supervision in the past and that was not ideal. Not that I didn't want to, but between long uninsured times and the MRI today taking two doctors and nearly a year to get authorized, it's hard. But brains are really important so let's both do this and ensure the future brain spiciness.
We will be behind you, blinvisible but mighty.

Yay askye!
It looks like we are cancelling our trip to Florida over Xmas. Gary was talking with his stepmom and she was worried about exposure to COVID. She and Gary's dad don't leave the house these days, mostly because of his mobility issues. Sigh...
On the other hand, the COVID test I took yesterday was negative.

Thank you all
And then mom texted me about my cousin is Jay back in the hospital Mom should be talking to the dr soon to find out a plan. It looks like kidney problems. He is in a not great rehab place where he is not getting much rehab for his paralysis for his stroke. He showed some improvement but he got a UTI and ended up in the hospital and of course he got sent right back. He has Medicare. He has a trach there are limited options. The UTI was from his catheter not being cleaned properly.
So in Nov about when I hit my head he was back in the hospital for a UTI. I don't know the details but ...he was sent back to the rehab place as soon as he was stable. For the same reason. I think he was still on antibiotics or maybe in Nov he was back for his 3rd UTI I'm not sure.
After the first UTI I told mom that the rehab place is going to kill him through neglect . And that is what is happening.
Jay was able to talk some but now he has regressed. He is, I believe, permanently paralyzed on his left side. He can feed himself but that is about it. And it won't be more unless he can get in a better place. Which he can't because he has no insurance.
His fiance ended their romantic relationship although she still loves him and is still fighting for his medical care, at least for now. He is 2 hours from his son and there is probably no way he will be able to live closer than that. I'm sad and I am angry but not ..it's more of a resigned angry. Because this is how our medical system is set up. And we can't change even the most basic things about our country because the Senate is split and Manchin can dictate things he wants. And also too many Democrats thought he wouldn't put is own self interests first.
I'm digressing sorry.
And I feel bad but I don't have enough for mental energy for the stuff I have going on and to think too much about this. It's the kind of thing that makes my brain tired.
