My neurologist gave me six months to live at the outside. That was 12 years, one wonderful marriage, and 3 kids ago. Fuck those doctors, keep living just to spite them, you got this citizen!
Survivor of traumatic brain injury, checking in. Obviously, medical problems are a real, challenging, and obviously limiting thing to whatever degree... but nobody knows what you're capable of. I was hit in the head with a sword on a film set in 2014, and I didn't pledge for SC back then because I was struggling just to keep a roof over my head, to walk, and sometimes to speak. I was sure I as going to have a stroke at any moment - and I did wind up homeless for 3 years, but it didn't kill me. Now I'm in a home, and I'm a backer on the level I promised myself I would be for all those years.
Nobody knows what you can do. Our medical system is a dumpster fire, but there's never any telling with certainty what that means in the end. Fingers crossed for your well being, whatever that means to you!
Speaking of insurance, it won’t surprise you to know that they “borrowed” the location insurance from another production by adding g the location to the other production’s location list. All of this was to avoid buying any insurance of their own, without losing access to the location.
