i got the bill for my medical expenses today:
ambulance ride to UCI: $600
first 3 days in the ER: $90,000
rest of the 17 days in UCI: $ 400,000 (mostly butt wiping and pain killers)
i havent gotten the bill for the other hospital, and neither for rehab, doctor checkups etc. i also have to take out the metal in my limbs soon. so itll be a lot of money. you can help me pay or donate money to me since i dont have a job right now and not even my house is worth that much.
i went to see the neurologist yesterday to check for nerve damage on my right arm. his name is dr. Allahad Haroon. he looked exactly like Osama Bin Laden with a beard the same way except, he didnt have a towel on his head. he told me i had to go through 2 tests: 1) a shock test and 2) the needle test. it has been a long time since i have been poked with needles so i expected pain. for the first test he put some electrodes on my arm and shocked me with a hand held device. i was reading alonng with him on the screen. under the voltage read 10, then 30, 50, 75, 90, and at 100 it was unbearable but i focused my mind to a happy place. my arm jumped lifelessly during the shocks. i passed that test which meant all the nerves in the arm were intact. then to the needle test he would poke me with a 20 gauge needle connected to a wire. he poked me in weird places such as in the meaty part of your palm, the inner/outer bicep, upper forearm, under the pinky, wrist etc. it didnt hurt but blood diid leak out. at each poke the computer would display a graph that looked like a 10.0 earthquake. that meant the nerve is working well. then when he poked the top of the forearm, a smooth graph would be displayed. so what i found out is my radial nerve suffered 40% damage. he told me to give it 18 months to heal and after that is what ill live with forever.
