medical bureaucracy
am i gonna have to pay for an mri out of pocket for the first time ever? maybe
re: medical bureaucracy
my previous mris were both done through public health but this time it's for something relatively urgent, and the public health system can get it done soonest in MARCH, and that's if i go all the way out to The South (~2.5h with public transit)
so i might have to spend some of my savings on getting this..... expedited

also part of me feels like this is a bad use of my savings (cause who's to say this is actually urgent? i've been living with these pains for months now, what's a few more? don't i need that money for my future?) but i also think that maybe this is that future where i need money for an Important Thing such as for example the ability to use my hands and to work out

(nicely circling back to my top two emotional needs: feeling healthy, and more importantly, feeling attractive)

anyway it's much cheaper than i anticipated. like, more expensive than anything i'd buy rn, but cheap enough that i actually have the money
