I was thinking of going IP last night. My mom was wondering it too. But it’s not that easy to just go in. An ultrasound cost me $80. I can’t imagine what a 7 day stay in a hospital would cost. I’ve had to start putting medical bills on credit cards. Which is really bad.
But my birthday is on Thursday. I don’t really care but we will probably get something for dinner. I don’t get birthday presents from anyone but my mom sometimes gets me a gift card somewhere.

We'll look forward to sending you lots of birthday wishes, Mountaindewed! Hopefully you won't need the hospital, though I will say that I did once have a birthday during a psych hospitalization. Though I can't say for all hospitals, I can say they gave me quite a celebration. Many patients gave me little art pieces from art therapy. One wonderful man gave me a Mickey Mouse watch. Why/how he had that, I don't know, but it was sweet.
It should not be the case that we avoid help because of money. I will be voting every election day (even from Europe) for US politicians that support improvement in healthcare coverage. Preferably Medicare for All. It's the right thing. It's something like what most of Europe and much of the world offer their citizens.
