Ok, so I've had my fair share of medical problems and Patrick's hospital bills were over a million dollars. All I can say about that post is that I'm surprised the word fuc* was not used over and over again with the word insurance. I could see you doing synonyms like fuc*ing as*holes and fuc*king nightmare, fuc*ers who live to piss you off, fuc*ers who automatically decline the bill just for the fun of it, etc. I'm sure you could use it over a dozen times in that definition alone....OK, I'll step down from my soap box now and I'm VERY thankful for the fuc*ing insurance (although it's a racket) b/c otherwise I'd be on welfare! Fuc*ers!!!!
Global developmental delay=We don't have a freaking clue what's wrong with your kid but somethings not right. That's my daughter's diagnosis, I have since added on dyspraxia but nobody knows what that means either.
Thanks for visiting.
