The year 2023 has been concluded in a way and I am thankful to God that there haven't been too much catastrophe that happened from the past 12 months at least for my self and then the entire world. I also survived a lot of trouble coming from the surgery of my left arm due to the big bump in my arteriovenous fistula which I happen to also endure the pain for about two years until I said "enough" because I am already requiring myself to take a pain medication all the time so I decided to go to the hospital and seek some help in order to finally end my suffering about that former issue which plagued me for more than about two decades. The said operation is not as easy as it seems to be because availing the hospital's charity services would mean that I will have to wait for the long process for the reason that many other patients are also on the queue before and after me. Now it didn't matter in the end because I saved some big money about the cost that it could have incurred to me and also thanks be to God as well for being financially ready about it otherwise I will just die if I do not have the means for supporting myself in that situation and yet I was able to pass it through.
It happened from April and then the recovery had been so slow to my expectations because I thought that the ordeal will be over after two weeks but it had been dragged up to more than three months when the surgeon finally pulled the draining tube from my arm which could have been taken off about two months after the surgery. But at least it is all over now so I couldn't be more thankful to God for that great test of endurance to inconvenience, pain, and also that sinister hallucination which followed after the surgery. It made me realize how valuable it is to also have with me my immediate family members which supported me during my stay in the hospital. I also happy that I do not have a family of my own to raise because of this situation in my life that I do not want them to see for obvious reasons but I realize how much difficult it would be if there will be no more family around to take care of me which is still one of the most feared things which I think as time passes by.
Anyway, there isn't much of a thing that happened to my family except for some achievements of my siblings because of their careers in their lives and I am also thankful that their spouses also are employed which puts them into a better economic position in society. It also gives me some joy about it because of our general economic situation where all things have gone up with regards to prices. In a way it is good because it forces me personally to think twice before buying anything and it saves me money which is still hard to come by these days because of inflation. However there will always be a way to make money because of ease in communication due to the advent of Internet which we can take advantage of to make a business by selling in places like "Facebook Marketplace" where it seems to be easier to find some customers for the product that you want to sell within some niche like foods and beverages for example.
As for my financial status, well it has been great lately because I still have the ability to do it with regards to content creation although I seem to fallback a bit and now writing everyday as I did from the the past. I am still struggling but maybe due to the test of time, my body will still break at some point because I had been doing this niche for so many years now from around 2013 and then after followed by my journey through the blockchain social media. Until now I still feel elated on how to make money "out of thin air" although I know that I really have to still work hard in order to make it happen continuously. I also feel lucky especially in this year because of Bitcoin's move on the Bullish side. Now I have set my plan with regards to this momentous crypto event and so I have to execute it no matter what in order for me not to get caught with another bag of coins which I will be forced to carry for another cycle and that is a very long, long time for me to wait again because of my health condition as well as my parents own issues with their health because they are not getting any younger too with me included. If God wills it, this year will be a year of happiness and that is what separates us crypto hobbyists from the rest of the world which we have to thank for.
Going to pay my health insurance for the rest of this year
One great thing about my country's health insurance is that it serves every citizens of this country the best thing an insurance have to offer. What it does is that it makes those who needed medical attention to get their necessary attention where the people who belongs to the vulnerable sector of society like the disabled and the senior citizens to avail a free medical service from government hospitals. I happen to belong to the "Persons with Disability" which gives me the privilege of getting free service and the chance to financial assistance if my mother would seek some to our Mayor of our Town or Governor of our province or from our district's congressman.
Our type of government insurance is a kind of universal health care which means that every sector of society is indeed covered. Because of that, people are taken cared of somewhat rather than to suffer from their ailments which could lead to death. Now because of assistance from our health insurance, people with sickness can made to function well and get productive rather than staying at home and being a burden to their relatives and family members. For my part of my sector, the dialysis patient's lives have now so much improved that I can call them really lucky because they will not have to suffer less dialysis treatments due to lesser dialysis treatment allocations per year. But now they can avail the three times dialysis per week which will make them feel much better with maybe less complications if their condition is carefully kept managed. Although the improvement on dialysis allocations per year is a dream come true for patients, it will still somewhat give them some burden in purchasing dialyzers which are expensive, then the copay costs which sometimes very hard to pay indeed if the hospital is big will also be a factor to give some patients some additional financial burdens particularly if the patient is very poor particularly with the cost of transportation and food nowadays, one must have a very clear way of sustaining themselves otherwise it will still be hard to survive despite the assistance given by our government insurance system and the charity services which lends a helping hand although it is limited for may health cases but it is better than nothing.
Realizing my crypto gains this year hopefully
Like I had said, there are too much good things that would happen in this year alone with regards to Bitcoin because of the Bitcoin halving in April and then this month's or week's BTC ETF approval. It would be an event to remember and feel if things go smoothly although for BTC's natural move to higher highs is still not impended no matter what because the BTC ETF is just an additional boost to the value of Bitcoin which could make the bull run somewhat last for maybe more than a year, I really have no idea how it will go regarding that because I have no experience with ETFs but to only say that it affected gold's price after Gold ETF went approved.
With all these projected high prices for Bitcoin, the positive effects for altcoins will also be left to our imaginations although the movements for most of altcoins are also very unpredictable in the up side of it all the time, what more if the dream value of BTC plays-out? That is why I am having all these weird feels in my chest because finally I can be able to enjoy the full value of the cryptos which I am holding. I will still be aiming for the long-term perspective and saving half of the profits for buying again in the bear market years while at the same time enjoying the profits which I will hopefully gain. Although it seems like counting the chicks before the eggs all had hatched, it is not like that in the world of cryptos because in this space there is a factor of Bitcoin cycle where you can be more certain when to sell-out and then buy-in. It is a rigged game of literal patience which is presented to us to make us win all the time without much doing anything in between. That is the kind of game which I will be playing now and at the same time enjoying what I always do everyday to add more income for me to utilize in which ever I want and need in my life if God wills it.
I hope you heal better this new year, my friend.
May you always get blessings from God @darthnava thank you.
