Quote from: Shen Li on December 09, 2025, 11:00:16 PMIn Canada you might not get the surgery period. That country's health care system is so  broken that essential but not life threatening surgeries like yours are considered a luxury.

That's crazy. Then again I've seen the leadership up there, so it makes sense lol.

Technically, I don't "have" to do this surgery. I could wing it, but the Doc said I would have arthritis in my knee in less than a year if I didn't, plus I would always be limited in what I can do.

Health care has come a long way, now its a "luxury", but I remember when a Doc would accept a pie or a chicken for services lol (not that I was alive at that time lol).

Quote from: Dove on December 10, 2025, 05:11:06 AMI mean i survived it all but i ended up with a drug addiction


... i also survived that so yeah...my kidney caused me a lot of drama lol. Ive had so many lipthotripsies that i cant have anymore so if i have problems again, ill have to have a partail nephrectomy. (Lower part of my kidney removed).

 And youve been out doing conga lines like that?! My God! Lol

 How did you do that? Thats gotta hurt. Sore a lot at least!

Dang, at least you was able to overcome the addiction. Sounds like eventually they may have to operate like you said. I pray you don't have to, or at least that it ends with the surgery. My wife had lots of kidney issues, and my dad died from kidney issues, so believe me when I say I hope you overcome it all.

Hahahahaha, Im pretty sure I was doing the conga line before my knee popped out lol. I think that was Jack Skellington night with the conga line hahaha. Lil cutie in booty shorts slapped her hands on my shoulders and yelled "CONGA LINE!" and away I went leading that sum'bitch around the club 

The night it went out, I had been going hardcore (as I do lulz), and it was my birthday lol. I was dressed as the Joker and my lil bestie was in town and she was Harley Quinn. I danced my ass off! About 2am it was time for the costume contest, and me and my bestie got on the stage and strutted our stuff lol. I came off the stage, did a pivot to look back, and BAM, it felt like my knee dislocated and went to the side. I was like WTF, and every step away from the stage I made, it popped out and back in again. Luckily the alcohol helped with the pain lol, but it really wasn't that bad, only when I stepped on it. Fast forward to the next day, Sunday, and I couldnt walk on it, went to the Dr, then the medical cycle began and I walked out on crutches.

Like I mentioned, my lil bestie was in town, its both of our birthdays, AND our favorite holiday... Halloween! Worst time this could happen, but I ain't no quitter lol. We were supposed to costume it up a few more times, and the main one on Halloween we were to be a new one, Rob Zombie's Dragula and Sherry Moon lol. She already upset, thinking our week is done, but even her dad told her "you don't know Blaze, he will show up as Rob Zombie in crutches!" hahaha. All her worries were over, when I showed up Monday as the Joker again but in crutches lol, and we went to the only bar open in town, to bring in her birthday after midnight. Then on Tuesday and Wednesday we went out and had a great time, by then I could dance on one leg, jus hoppin' around hahaha. Then come Halloween I was Rob Zombie, and up on the stage in another costume contest lol.

Hell I was up in a tree stand shootin' me a deer a couple weeks ago lol.

Im not 100% for sure, Im limited, have to be careful. Cant dance like I want either lol. Cant flex my leg all the way, does hurt if I step wrong, or lay on it wrong or something, but I have a high pain tolerance. Im dreading the surgery cause Im gonna go backwards, and prolly worse, til the healing happens. I cant wait to get back to normal, I HATE the couch life lol.

Quote from: Dove on December 10, 2025, 05:14:07 AMMy daughter had a friend she made on some game she used to play. She was 16 at the time and so was this kid. (Or so he said....they only chatted in the game)

 This boy had some sort of brain tumor. In the states, he would have had a few options. My daughter looked all this up on her own.

 In Canada? They gave this kid a pamplet on how to die.  Ill add in, this kid had been struggling with symptoms for like 5 years before they even found the tumor do all the lollygagging and waiting and shuffling about this family endured just trying to get answers.

 This is why my daughter votes republican. It horrified her so deeply that she started her politcal journey.

A pamphlet on how to die to a teen!? WTF!

That is Mr. Carney's Canada. This why my Jo Jo didn't vote for him.

Quote from: Blazor on December 10, 2025, 11:07:02 AMYeah the steaks are small, but at least they are steaks lol.

Cow meat has gotten crazy expensive lately. Just this year, the burger I get, went from $5.50lb to $8.00lb, and I hear its going to over $10 at the turn of the year. That's pretty much double in less than a year. And forget steak, its insane.

They say we have a shortage, but I think its because of all the regulations and such that they keep putting on the farmers, and then turn around and import meat. Also, I know that Nationalist White dudes have a trend of eating a lot of steak lately lol, for breakfast and shit lol.

Ground beef here is $20.48 a kilo for just regular. That is $9.31 a pound. Extra lean is $27.09 a kilo or $12.31 a pound.

WTF? I just paid $4.49/lb for ground chuck! Now the whole beef tenderloin I bought the other day was $187!!! I think it was $35.99/lb. We'll have at least 3 or 4 meals for 4 off it, Not something we'll do again for several months tho.

 Yep.

 We cant even fathom it ...but thats normal there. I dont know how true to this is, but i read someone on reddit talking about how they just needed some equipment..the person was handicapped and needed a ramp for the door or a wheel chair. They needed something for their mobility.

 And they kept applying for it and eventually they were invited to kill themselves.

 I wish i was joking...im not lol.

 Our dumb fuck liberals here think Canada is an example to follow and want universal healthcare.

 And honestly i would love a world where everyone could just get all the medical care they need. I dont oppose that.

 If there was a way to accomplish that, that was sustainable, affordable, and doable and everyone could get the care they need promptly? Without taxing people into state forced poverty? Oh fuck yes id support it.

 I think everyone would be behind that.

 Its just not doable. It may be wonderful at first but eventually it will start killing people.

 Anytime someone starts praising the healthcare system in Canada, i jump in and start telling them what happens in Canada.

 Ill never forget how people from Canada come here just to get their dialysis on time. And their chemo. Thats just the Canadians who can afford to just skip over to Michigan and receive those treatments. What about all the other Canadians who DONT have that option?

 I guess they just suffer and hope they dont die?

 Its a ghoulish horror over there.

Dove, I have clients that go abroad to get medical care they cannot get here in Canada. I would absolutely do the same in their situations.
