Nope that's what I always said about going out drinking. If I don't remember it , it never happened. AND there were no fucking cell phones to record our dumb asses then!

I had a nail go through my foot at that age. They put a bandaid on it and gave me a tetanus shot.
One of my crowns just fell out the night before halloween, and I don't got time to go to the dentist until friday. I'm still gonna eat candy with my exposed nub and aint nobody can stop me. Maybe I can polydent this shit back in or something. Where

Yea, I really try to avoid antibiotics when they aren't completely necessary. I think they can cause some huge harms as a side effect. That said, they also can pretty much save your life... But I sure as heck aint touching them unless I'm in that category or in a situation that can quickly put me in that category.
I definitely go out of my way to rebuild my gut culture afterwards too. Doing things like making your own sour cream/yogurt/sour dough starter are a great way to introduce local bacteria back into your system and taste great too.

I didn't get intubated but when I was transferred down to Barnes they placed a central line in anticipation of a thoracotomy that ended not being done. Was a bit of a surprise to wake up with a jungle of IV lines sprouting out of my neck but the indescribable pain from what they did carve out of my chest was a pretty good distraction.

Ouch. I grew up on a ranch in Texas and I’d always run around barefoot and had a few times stepping on nails. My parents were pretty poor and they said that I’d always remove my shoes despite their best efforts. One benefit of it as an adult is I have very tough feet.
They’d always just rinse my foot under water and apply supply to close the wound. Which in retrospect is definitely not the best medical care but I survived. Survivorship bias, maybe.
pretty much had a rule of “if you’re sick longer than 3 days, we’ll go to the doctor.”

Update:
This AFIB has ruined my life.
Prescribed medicine does fuck all to prevent it or stop it once it has started.
Had to go to ER for pneumonia the other day and started AFIBing while I was there. they injected liquid metoprolol into my system and that still wouldnt stop it.
I feel utterly fucking hopeless. I ripped out a chunk of my hair today. I get frustrated at times and slam my fist into my heart in a vain attempt to stop this shit.
This is easily the worst thing that has ever happened to me.
Asked for ablation back in July, and cardiologist wouldnt sign off on it. seeing new cardiologist Tuesday and hopefully they'll feel differently
I cant fucking do this anymore

I'm not an expert on such things but why do they need to intubate you for this? I've only been under 4-5 times in my life and they've never intubated me, just curious.

My dude, I'm so sorry you are having to go through this. I can't imagine how frustrated and disheartened you must be. The only advice I can give that I hope is helpful is to play the long game. You'll get the AFIB under control with your doctors. You'll get the oblation if you need it. You've got decades left to live and feel good. You'll get this. You've got this.

Had picked up some health insurance to try and help with the cost of my blood thinners. Says $25 copay for drugs without needing the deductible met. Cool. With the financial assistance, was able to bring that plan down from $600/mo to $200/mo. Not bad until I can get something from a job again. Well, I'm apparently too stupid to realize that there's tiers of prescriptions and that copay is only for tier 1 shit and mine is not that. So yeah, still had to shell out $300 for this month's supply of thinners. So frustrated with this shit. Parents offered to take care of it, but just one more thing I owe them, now.

Have you checked into something like goodrx or Amazon pharmacy for the prescriptions? A few of mine are actually cheaper on Amazon if I don't use insurance. Can't really explain that

In addition, Mark Cuban (I think) started a drug co to make costs cheaper. What are you on that costs that much? My wife is on Warfarin and it's pennies, it's literally rat poison.
EDIT: Found it
Double edit: Unfortunately you do have to pay close attention, they make insurance confusing on purpose. Not sure about your state but here in NV they have State paid brokers to help with insurance options for self employed/unemployed people that do not have a company to advocate for them. It doesn't cost anything to meet with them either.

Xarelto. GoodRX doesn't really do anything for it, last I checked. Going to try their patient assistance program again now that I have insurance and see if it changes anything.
