I was browsing my cell reading some of the news articles on the feature On Demand and stumbled upon something about deep vein thrombosis, or DVT for short.
As I was reading I was thinking to myself, "Damn this stuff must suck ass for the folks that are dealing with it" mostly due to the fact of blood clots traveling up to the lungs and in essence killing you if not caught.
It than dawned on me that maybe I have DVT. Yup, you read that right.
I mean I have all the symptoms such as the swelling of calves (both legs unfortunetly), red discoloring in the affected area which is above my ankles (once again, both legs), warm to the touch (the red part) and pain. Not good. So, I think I shall be making myself an appointment to get that shit checked out. Know what the sad part is?? I havent had health insurance for so long that I was like, eh it'll take care of itself. I still almost have that same look on it but the thing is now we do have insurance and kickass insurance at that.... so I wont procrastinate and will actually do something about it. Id fuckin' hate to die due to a blood clot. If I'm gonna check out from something I want something worthwhile and mildly entertaining.
Is that fucked up of me? Maybe but hey, its keeps life interesting. Besides I dont wanna be dead in heaven or hell, for that matter and some sap ask me what I died from and all I got a crap blood clot answer. Thats like being in prison and the serial murderer asking what you're in for and all you can say is something lame like, extortion. Blah!
I was watching Oprah today and it was sadly disgusting. It was about child predators and how they're spreading such crap amongst themselves online at an alarming rate. Anyway, there is a bill going before Senate called PROTECT Our Children Act and it in essence will provide over $320 million dollars over a 5 yr span to fund law enforcement agencies so they can drastically cut the number of these predators out there and most importantly, protect the innocent children being preyed upon. It will also mandate child rescue being a top priority for law enforcement and provide funds for high-tech computer software that can track down internet predators.
The Senate will be voting on this bill soon and this needs to be in before they take recess on Sept 26th.
Please visit www.senate.gov to find your State's legislatures and email, fax, telephone them to pass the PROTECT Our Children Act (S. 1738, Biden-Hatch).
Now, I'm off to sign myself. Take it easy tonight kiddos! Lates.
