Hunters and other creatures, and more episodes. Sales and shares very much needed.

The mighty hunter. Yes, I chose the least graphic one. It's that whole circle of life thing, y'know. [Yes, I'm old; I remember original lines from The Lion King.] Come to think of it, CoyDog does look a little like a tiny lion.

I'm beat. The last two weeks have been marked by constant episodes, scarily so, and I haven't had time to deal with any of it because I've been too busy with Wings and his health. He's doing better today with the med adjustments we've made, thank all that's holy. As I said last night, now, if I could just get my own medical issues under control, things would go a lot more smoothly. Unfortunately, that's kind of hard to do when no one knows what's causing it. The chest pain has been absolutely brutal all week, and yesterday's episode left me very scared again. The sensation of dying is not a pleasant one, even when it's not something, apparently, that's actually happening; it only feels like it. And I've been kept so busy all day that I've had no time even to look at the new platform, so the rest is cut-and-paste. 

The overall goal is my $25K+ in emergency medical bills, but for now, I'm trying to raise an initial $1,700 to take care of two specific bills: the local ambulance and one hospitalist's fee. We're $145 of the way toward it. A caveat: I have a lot of kinks to get worked out yet, but PayPal is now theoretically linked to the progress meter on the site. I say "theoretically," because I've just discovered that I apparently have to set up at least one other page to make the subscription "purchase" possible. Eventually, if you subscribe via PayPal (it's a monthly thing like Patreon), it will show, although for now the only way to do it is to hit the PayPal "Subscribe" button. I'm hoping to get that figured out and fixed tomorrow. I also need to figure out how to pin it to the main page, so for now, the only way to access it is here. Please share this link around on social media and elsewhere. I really do need to raise the rest of the $1,700 as fast as possible, because there are thousands' worth of hospital bills stacked up behind it. It also means that we need sales and I need to get my subscription platform up and running (and you can still subscribe via PayPal even now). So here are the links: 
  • Tonight's post elsewhere (an appearance by my old friend and eternal enemy, memory);
  • A way to buy me coffee (which actually goes to She-Wolf's & my medical bills);
  • Wings's direct PayPal link;
  • Wings's site, for sales;
  • Amazon wishlist, which mostly consists of food for the half-feral pack;
  • Wayfair gift cards, to replenish all the furnishings that the RV has destroyed in one way or another.
  • Partial registry #1, from Bed, Bath and Beyond. There are new kitchen-y things on it now, stuff that I didn't realize we'd need to replace (either because the RV ruined it or because we gave it away when we had to downsize).
  • Partial registry #2, from Wayfair. There are some things left on both registries that I thought by now I might be able just to buy outright, but medical bills (mine and She-Wolf's both) have to come first.

Please check out the new platform, share the links, get your friends to participate. I've got a long road ahead of me, just in terms of diagnosis and, I hope, eventually treatment. Being able to pay off the medical bills will go a long way toward keeping me as healthy as possible in the meantime. Thanks, everybody, from both of us.
