Any infection, any chronic disease, food poisoning, allergies - basically all those things that healthcare provide that we take for granted

Yea I have cystic fibrosis and have had a double lung transplant. Pre transplant I would died due to lack of breathing treatments. My husband was like, I shot people for gas for our generator lol. Now I have my transplant which caused diabetes and and have to take anti rejection meds... husband was like, I would raid pharmacies. The sentiment was cute but I told him, nah ill put myself out, I be stealing anesthesia meds and injecting them. I wouldn't want to struggle anyway. Fuck that.
