grossmont hospital.

as of recent i have been pretty sick. in addition to some strange flu that made my head feel like a ripe watermelon, ready to be cut open and devoured, i also have this strange ear ailment.

for the past four or so days, i've left my apartment four times at most. thank god i had christina to take care of me. i went to the emergency room on tuesday night, at a hospital which i was under the impression to be a community hospital. i thought the term community meant lowered prices for all of us folks without health insurance. WRONG. on all accounts.

first of all, these people don't even ask for identification to verify that i'm really chelsie rose kern. second, they don't forewarn you that your five minute visit with the ER doc is going to put you out 1000 dollars. fucking sweet.

when it rains it pours, and this brain of mine is like a locomotive train that still runs on coal. feverishly documenting the days, but polluting everything with it's blackened clouds of thought. sick brain. sick body.

but christina was phenomenal, and took care of me.
for that i am very, very thankful.
