    i went for all my tests and the results came back inconclusive, but i am being treated as if i have had a stroke, i am now on blood pressure tablets and asprin and have been called into my work as i am now a risk for the company ( will need to see how this pans out)


    i have still to add spending money onto this but as you can see it is proving to be much more money that we ever thought it would be ..., we wanted to go to china but decided against it as we couldnt afford it ... but i think in hindsight it wouldve been cheaper than going to the u.s.a tbh

    YOU are a risk for the company, how about THEY are a b****y risk for you.

    The problem with the USA is how huge the medical bills can be because they don't have (or want) a 'communist' medical service.

    yeo medical costs are extortionate in the u.s.a i think thats why i am glad that i am covered should i have another t.i.a /b.p. issues etc yep it cost me a bloody fortune but it has got to be worth it for the cover i'm sure

    sorry it has been so hard for you recently. I would hope that going onto days at least will help your health...
    I want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?

    I don't think we need to 'buy' this excuse. Life is for living. Not living beyond your means but definately living.
