Boredom

I am slowly recovering, and I guess the next step is therapy for sitting on my ass for three months. Unfortunately, that means someone wanting $75 copay three or four times a week. Honestly, when I see Watro and Argall pat themselves on the back for caring for their aging and ailing constituents, I feel they smoked a bowl on the way to the venue.
The day when our medical community talked about "quality of life" is long gone. Quality of life no longer exists in the Hazleton area among our medical community. Watro and Argall probably failed to mention this during one of their health seminars.
Let's cut right to the chase: opioids were taken away from us because of the health concerns associated with addiction. When my opioids were stopped, I was taking 4 codeine-laced Tylenol 4 times a day, my out of pocket expense was $0. After a while, the high went away, and I was left pain-free to conduct a meaningful life. My meds were yanked from me with little concern about suffering from withdrawals. Why? Because I wasn't addicted. To this day, there are no pain meds that work. It seems to me that a responsible government would have found a suitable replacement before pulling the plug.
To say I was upset is an understatement. I did some research and found that more PA residents die from alcohol-related diseases than from opioids. What's the catch? PA makes a lot of money from selling booze. I can't have an opiod so that I can live a meaningful and productive life but I can drive to the Hazleton liquor store and walk out with shopping cart full of Vodka bottles.
Here is a little piece of medical help for those stuck in the Hazleton area who haven't seen a urologist. I wasted three months in pain to find this out. All we have in Hazleton are computer terminals where you can visit a team member. Give me a fucking break. All of the actual doctors have moved to greener pastures and relocated their practice to Allentown. Watro probably never mentioned this in their seminar and probably dangled a few trinkets, like a free bag or keychain, to help distract from the clusterfuck we call health care.
Allow me to be the first to explain why we have no doctors or enough so we don't have to kiss ass for an appointment. First, Biden and Watro flooded this area with illegal immigrants to supply our area with cheap burger flippers. Guess what? They get free health care! Since this is ultimately a business for doctors, they need to be paid and fled.
Here is a suggestion: hold a seminar on Hazleton healthcare and the shambles it's in beyond the shiny buildings and infrastructure. Hang your ass out there and speak the truth.
Anyway, I drifted from my initial point and provided some mental stimulation for those stuck at home and alone, suffering from pain because of pain. There are only so many times you can watch the same reruns.
Thanks to the internet, you can tour America via webcams; many venues have them outside their establishments. Lately, I have been watching fishing pier webcams, but most major cities have these. Right now, I have one on with the mute pressed and the '80s on the stereo.
