July 5 2001 Chemical pesticide exposure

Ha!!! I found my original discharge papers from the emergency department 🏥

Vindication! 

Granted, no one knew I was exposed to CT-511 that day. (It was a year later that I found out.) 

But ha! Proof I was seen at the emergency room. And given three prescriptions. 

IT HAPPENED 

Proof I keep better records than the hospital 😬

Pack rat. 

We're cleaning our closet. I've thrown out several 30-gallon trashbags of stuff. Some which brought me great joy, but I'm throwing out because that way someone else won't have to some day when I'm dead. 

Stuff I kept for the life I thought I'd have.

Hope. Dreams. 

Tossed out! 

And copies of old bills and stuff. The junk you're supposed to keep for a decade before shredding. Well, it's going out now! (Far more than a decade.) 

Gone. Gone. Gone. 

It's hot as hell and I'm in unbearable pain.

Oh look, here's papers that remind me WHY.
