Welp, one down and five to go. [View all]

I am now unable to afford my prescription of isosorbide. I am not exactly sure what it does, but I am aware that it has something to do with my blood vessels being more open and flexible. I had a quad bypass in 2020, and I am pretty sure I am approaching my extended deadline. They mention that one requires more medical attention and care after ten years or so. Since I cannot afford the drugs, I certainly cannot afford the other crap associated with 'taking care of yourself'. But, they couldn't care less. After all, the rich get actual healthcare, while the poor get cattle calls. Our rent is coming up and the slave wages that my husband is getting are not enough to survive what is going on today. Hopefully, it will fail soon enough. I am already a complete failure, so why even consider being around for much longer?

I should just check out. No one is going to miss a failure.
