2 years later and all done - thanks to your help!

Post by Jirato »

I think I mentioned this somewhere here before, but I couldn't find it to reply to, so...

Today, I made the final payment of a $11,000 hospital bill ($2,900 owed by me, the rest was insurance), that I've been struggling with to pay over the past 2 years. In August of 2013, I had the worst pain I ever felt in my entire life. I seriously thought I was going to die. I have an extremely high pain tolerance, and for things to get bad enough that I need to go to the hospital, they have to be REALLY bad. I spent 4 hours in the emergency room, had 2 or 3 shots of morphine, some sort of scan, and a urine analysis just to find out that I had a kidney stone. Some of the people I've talked with about kidney stones say it is one of the very few things that is actually more painful than giving birth. Wow, I can't even imagine...

Anyway, combined with other credit card debts, this has been really hard for me and I've struggled with it a lot. But thanks to the awesomeness of not having to worry about the server payments as much (Yay, Patreon!) I was able to put that money I was normally shelling out for the server to my hospital bill instead.

So, just wanted to say thanks all for helping pay the server. It really means a lot to me, more than I can really express. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Congrats on getting that paid off! I'm sure fear of the unkown makes passing a kidney stone infinitely worse. No matter how bad labor is, you know it won't last forever. Plus you get a baby at the end. Hope you're completely recovered!

Jirato could always keep the stone as a pet rock!

Glad you've got one less thing to worry about, Jirato. Getting payments/debts paid off at long last is one of life's great joys. And yay for the players being supportive of CLOK!
The lore compels me!

I'm not left speechless often, but that statement right there did it.

As a reward for paying off your hospital bills, Jirato, we give you premature gray hairs! :).

Also, yay I learned how to do the quotey thingy.
Glad you got it paid off.
