There's Not Enough Oxygen

There's not enough oxygen in the world this week. I've had the mysterious misfortune of developing a sudden case of pneumonia. Not that I know anyone with pneumonia, or that I've been sick, I went to bed healthy and fine and woke up, not so healthy and fine.
So I went to the Doc yesterday, and after waiting an hour, it's my turn, and it is then they tell me I don't have health insurance. What?? I'm Canadian, I'm Albertan, I'm working, therefore I have health insurance. In the end we had to pay, call Alberta Health, get a refund, blah blah blah. But how could I not have health insurance? And it's the kind of thing you only ever find out in the hour of need.
Anyway, in all of that ranting I realize that some 90% of the world's population don't have health insurance and never will, so...
Now I'm on meds, and hoping they work, I've been waiting for this coming weekend for a long time, as some friends and I are set to for a 1-day road trip to Edmonton for a concert - John Butler Trio. And also the chance to see my grandparents after 2 years!! And buy a pair of jeans that fit me. All very good things. And as it is now, things are looking pretty iffy for me. Arghh.
So apparently this is a whine and rant blog, I apologize, you can stop reading if you want. My brain's probably slightly cooked and rattled after 2 days of high fever and so much coughing! The stairs, getting out of bed, sitting in a chair, all of these have been enough to put me out of breath these days. Apparently there's not enough oxygen in the world this week.
