Back home. (Patreon)

They released me with a clean bill of health today, and I am finally home. I am very glad to no longer be confined to a hospital bed. No more sleeping just to pass the time until the next set of needles and food specifically designed to make you fart. Thankfully VH1 was running videography marathons of 80s bands like The Cure, Duran Duran, and Def Leppard.

Modern medical science is awesome, I must say, and Chile remains IMHO one of the best countries to get quality, affordable medical care. The whole procedure was done in probably 20 minutes through a tiny hole in my wrist. 

Supposedly my insurance (so they say) will cover 100% of my stay and procedures; I should get the final bill in about a month. I am very curious though, since when I had my ankle surgery the base total before coverage was about $3000 and I paid zero, compared to anywhere from 10-30k in the USA.

Anyways I had a well-deserved plate of REAL FOOD after getting the F out of there.

And then I mortgaged my left nut to pay for a library of new medications.
