  I’m glad I was born here . My son was 3 months premature so I would of had mountains of dept from all the ultrasounds from before he was born to monitor the issues we where having. Plus a 3 month stay in the NICU with special tests done all the time to make sure everything was fine .

    My partner’s son was also premature and also had complex developmental issues. The fact that they weren’t bankrupted (and that my stepson actually has access to support staff) amazes me still.

    Also I get kidney stones and have to somewhat regularly get it treated with lithotripsy to break them down to smaller peices.
