#AtoZChallenge Opposed

I know how insignificant I am. 

I know that my voice probably doesn't matter.

I don't write my representatives believing that they honestly care what I think, say, or believe. 

I'm aware that our political system has failed people who aren't rich. The only voices THEY hear (Democrats, Republicans, Independents) are of extremely wealthy people who buy elections. 

But

I am OPPOSED to doing nothing. I can't.

Even if what I'm doing is a completely useless utter lack of time. I can't live with myself if I've done nothing. I can't. I know it's practically nothing. But, on rare occasions, if enough people do the same thing, the collective nothings becomes something.

Zero is nothing.

The Romans didn't even have a zero.

Try using Bianry without it though. 

Zero is nothing, but it matters. 

#AtoZChallenge Nothing

"I got Nothing" 

Mike is well-known for this catchphrase. 

I'm not saying that people intentionally say really obscure and outlandish things specifically so no reply is appropriate and Mike has to say it while laughing... but that might be true.

Medical #AtoZChallenge

"But, he just started 2 new meds."

"Always something with you two." 

Am I supposed to advocate for myself, and now my husband, or not? 

Because he did start a new med last week. And there's another for pick up at the pharmacy, JUST texted from the pharmacy that it was filled. 

No, his diabetes is not well controlled. That's why he is on new meds. 

"Don't walk for more than 20 minutes. But try to walk, very slowly, at least <impossible goal> a week. But stay off your feet." 

What???

Stuff I endured when hospitalized: 

1. I should not have had to experience another asthma attack while hospitalized.
2. My elbow should not have been injured, and that ignored, while hospitalized.
3. My left big toe should not have been injured and ignored while hospitalized.
4. I should not have been prescribed an overdose of aspirin.
5. I was discharged so fast that another patient's information was attached to my discharge summary. HIPPA violation?
6. Arrangements should have been made to get me home safely, as I could not yet walk well enough on my own (especially on steps).
7. I wonder if manual blood pressure readings could have been taken in the ER, instead of letting my left arm turn purple. Especially as my right arm wasn't working at the time. Could one hand/ limb have been protected? 
8. Is it possible, in the future, for my respiratory condition to be taken seriously at the onset?

I tried to get a lawyer to help, but nope, no luck. 

My big toe is finally starting to heal, a year and half later.
