Reset Forty-Eight, Day Fifteen

[rejectomorph]

Tuesday I fought with my bedclothes in my sleep, then had a rematch after waking up. I lost both times. If feels as though something got twisted in my knee, and since the promoter has no insurance there's nothing to be done about it except hope it heals in a few days on its own. In the meantime I hobble.

There was more rain Tuesday morning, but the afternoon brought a couple of hours of sunlight, and I had a cat nap followed by a late lunch. Later another nap expended itself until near midnight, and I ended up having a very late dinner which remains undigested even now as I head back to bed yet again. It has gotten quite cold out, and a hard freeze warning is in effect for local farmers. The next rain isn't due until Saturday.

I'm sure there was something else I wanted to say, but my brain lost it. I've felt uncommonly stupid for hours. I probably didn't drink enough. Drinking makes me forget I'm stupid. But then so does being asleep, so I'm set, for a few hours at least.

You keep saying you have no health insurance, what about Medicare or Medicaid?

I do have Medicare part B, which pays for visits to doctor's offices, but not hospitalization or medications. For those I used to be eligible for MediCal (California's version of Medicaid) but I think I've become ineligible recently due to payments from a class action lawsuit from the fire, which will give me too many resources. I haven't really gotten that straightened out yet, as there are mind-numbing bureaucratic hoops to jump through and I haven't had the energy to deal with it. When I'm not sure something is there, to avoid getting on somebody's shit list I just assume it isn't. But I'll probably end up on somebody's shit list anyway.
