I love fruit.

OK, so it is tax time, and I was thinking I would be able to use all my medical costs this year on my taxes. I was nervous at the numbers would be calculated, and how long it would take me.

Now, I don’t love what I do every day, but the company I work for takes very good care of their employees when it comes to benefits, even if I get frustrated and angry on a daily basis (that is on my lack of deflection skills.)

I realized exactly how well once I added up all of my receipts. I wept. I am still crying every hour or so.

I.am.one.lucky.mofo.

I don’t want to brag, I just want to express my thanks. I am truly thankful to have been given the chance to work here, to get on full time, and to still be here. It saved my life. Really. There is no way I could have paid for my treatment, doctors appointments, scans, tests, surgery, prescriptions, and everything else that came with Breast Cancer. I would be bankrupt, and likely not in very good health at the moment.

So, let me bitch and moan about the day to day, but if you hear me say anything about leaving, look at me and point me to this post. Ten, twenty years from now- if my career has stalled- whatever- point me here.

I know too many people that don’t have this amazing situation, and they should.

I hope that the world wakes up and decides that the lives of those already here, needing medical care, deserve it as a human right. Healing is  the one true power.
