The roadstories diary: the uncertainty of life.

This space in my blog is very important for me, I like to dedicate at least 5 minutes to listen to myself, to obey a bit to my thoughts that every day is accumulating a lot of important information that is not taken care of at the moment. I tend to be careless with my life, especially when it comes to working and surviving. This country, my country, has been a challenge for me and my people. It is really frustrating how bit one can live or survive.

My body and my mind know that I have been sick for a long time, if the bills are not bad, it will be 3 months already, I could assure that 2 of those 3 months I neglect me with the excuse of work, but really it is not an excuse, it is a vital need, and now that the last month I decide to take care of myself, go to the doctor and see what is happening is when I receive more bad news than I can receive daily.

Without going to the doctor's office, I was able to do a bit research on the prices and cost of my life so I could recover... not even that, just to know what the hell I have. A medical consultation in Venezuela has a minimum value of $10 dollars, that is, more than two minimum wages. I need more than a simple medical consultation, I must have a colonoscopy exam to see what is happening with my health, it turns out that this exam has a cost between $150 to $200 ... is just an exam, not even the cure for the disease that is still unknown. If only $10 is more than a minimum wage in my country, you can already think of the madness of paying only for a colonoscopy exam, where you are raped with a tube as they travel from the anus to the intestines. If the anesthesia doesn't put me to sleep, the crazy price of life is already doing it for free.

That's not all, in case I take that exam and nothing "so bad" is happening, surely the drugs that the doctor will send me will be expensive, is that everything here in Venezuela is expensive, the only thing free is to die in the hands of crime or give yourself to the disease and die naturally. Now there are medicines but you need to have more than two jobs and many years of savings to pay for a colonoscopy that you urgently need to get a diagnosis and not wait for everything to get worse.

So far my frustration does not arrive, it turns out that Steem is a door of hope for the survival of a Venezuelan, and really is so, you will never earn more working for a company or trade in Venezuela, than you can generate in steemit. but you know what? I am supposed to have 1500 steem of power, and even thinking about power down to pay my medical expenses and save my life ... not enough. That is to say, not even steemit can be my savior, until the seriousness of the economic issue in my country has arrived.

For everyone's information, you need more than 1700 steem to get a colonoscopy exam... this is crazy, not even 2 years in steemit is enough to pay for that exam.

I'm sure many people will say, hey road, we are not from Venezuela, here we need more steem than that and it's true, but I'm sure that with two or only one job in your country you can pay what I should work in more than 2 years.

But... What do you do with the liquid steem?, simple, I must eat. But road... this is not a charity, steemit is for fun.

Honey... it is supposed that the governors, mayors, presidents are in charge of protecting their people and do the opposite, they never do politics correctly, it is part of the imperfect life, just as steemit is imperfect in terms of its use, well... neither is it that in the faq it says "steemit is for fun not to eat"... but if you have a vital and basic necessities, and you are balanced... Why not live on steem?

I'm sorry, I let myself be carried away by my thought, is that the reality is that even in steem there are silly signs.

In conclusion, I'm sure that for now I won't be able to take that exam, first because I don't have the money and second because it seems very expensive, something very exaggerated. I'm in God's hands, and I know I'll be fine. I will go to the doctor's office to look for alternatives that may not exist for my good, but that is what I must live, and like me, many people, many Venezuelans who have offered our time in Steem working for someone, not only make posts and leave, devote more than 10 or 12 hours a day to a community, because we like it but also because it has more monetary value than a title and a company in Venezuela can pay us.

But remember... still, nothing is enough to survive, not even to give you a colonoscopy exam. I'm not doing power down, I owe steem a lot.

_{Don't be so happy road, you need about $300 LOL}
