Laughs in socialized healthcare

Today, I sleep on the floor every night because my cat has punctured three air mattresses. I was going to get a real bed with my stimulus check, but I broke my leg and had to pay for the doctor's bill. FML

Today, my cat woke me up at 12 AM. After I told her to chill, I realized the mattress needed some air. Inflating it didn't work so I looked for the puncture wound. While trying to find a hot glue stick to patch it with, I got a thin shard of glass in my foot, which broke while I tried to get it out. FML

Today, I need a new mattress. Last night, I slept on the floor. It was the best sleep I've had in a while. FML

Today, I was very cold and tired, so I took a shower to warm up and went to bed. The minute I hopped into bed, it collapsed and broke. I have spent half-an-hour rearranging furniture to get the mattress on to the floor. Now I'm cold again. FML

Today, my cat pissed on my bed, so I had to change the sheets. Just as I got out of bed and take my first step, I stepped in my cat's poop as well and slipped, spraining my ankle. FML

Today, after my landlord has refused to fix the bathroom plumbing problem in my apartment for several days, I had to buy cat litter for myself. FML

Healthcare for all

Today, I was sitting down to do my homework when I severely sprained my ankle. I live on the third floor and can’t walk far without severe pain, and I'm broke, so a compression bandage is out of the question. I can’t wait until the first of the month when I get paid again. FML

Today, after months of telling my landlord about the weak floorboards in my living room, I fell through them as I was trying to repair them myself. FML

Welcome home!

Today, I got home after a spending a week recovery from surgery. My neighbour had been feeding my cat whilst I was away. Exhausted, I went straight to my bedroom where I soon discovered that my cat had shat on my pillows, duvet, and pyjamas. FML

Today, I decided to go thrifting to save some money. Ironically, I ended up having to pay for an emergency trip to the hospital because somebody was too lazy to wash the cat hair off their clothes. I'm severely allergic to cats. FML

Err, are you drunk? OP said he broke his leg. Did you expect him to fix it with a band aid?

I'm confused. Did the cat break your leg by puncturing the air mattresses? I'm thinking you're making weed look bad.

I had to mark “You Deserved It”. Are you f*ckin’ kidding me? Your sleeping on the floor because you had to pay a Doctors bill? And what did the Doctor need your money for? So that his million dollar car would be this years current model instead of last? So that he could have his private swimming pool expanded and cleaned? So he can take another luxury cruise? Unbefcknlvable!

Screw the Doctor. He had higher needs. Let the Doctor fix his leg. And then thank the Doctor and never give it another thought. End of story. Take care of yourself first!

Doctors won’t fix broken legs if they don’t get paid.

That sucks! You can buy a twin size mattress online for a hundred dollars.

I feel your pain. I was sleeping on an air bed when I moved back in April. It kept deflating and I'd wake up in the middle of the night with it half flat, so I slept on the floor from May until a little while ago (End of August). I bought a mattress. I'm so happy to have it. No bed frame, the mattress is on the floor, but I'm just happy I at least have one. Air beds suck sometimes anyway. When they half deflate, you wake up with terrible pains. That's why I chose the floor over it. I'd suggest using pillows and blankets to make the floor a little less hard. I roll a lot in my sleep, but I was still able to stay on at least the blankets if not the pillows. Good luck!!! Hopefully you find one you can afford or you find a friend to donate one to you.
