Canceled IHC singles, rack of Brass Elephant 50c (1 Viewer)

Unexpected medical bills, what can you do, right? I did this.

I took the above chips out of storage and into the light. I am an inlaid frac man, no doubt. It would take a cataclysm to extricate me from that obsession.

But! They replaced my small IHC collection, which was on the wall, and which is now for sale.

Usual karma rules are not applicable here, I am trying to get every penny I can. Prices do not include shipping. PayPal f/f or Amazon gift certificates. I will ship anywhere, but intl may be risky. Left to right:

I could give two shits about dibs. Some fine chippers never get much because they can’t monitor the classifieds 24/7, but I will be as fair as I can. If you want to pm and negotiate I respect that, but when I am buying a wheel chair (it is just temporary, but still) I have little sympathy with your wanting to dicker over $5.


Edit: So the medical bills are from my wife. She works construction. A ladder she was on tipped, and she fell 15 feet onto concrete. Amazingly, she basically internally amputated her right foot, but that's it. No other injuries. Head's fine, arms are fine, hips are fine, spine is fine, knees are fine, skull is fine. I think she also lightly bruised an elbow. However she landed, her foot took all the force and that's it. Within 5 hours, she had world class surgery to put bones and ligaments back into place and repair them. There was no major blood vessel damage, or any nerve damage. Now it's just healing and rehab.

I'm a high school advanced science teacher. Hybrid learning is a shit show, and so are my benefits. I don't enjoy giving up my IHC collection of chips, but it's just stuff. And stuff is ephemeral. So here we are. Wherever it goes, I'm sure the chips will be as enjoyed as they were in my house.

Totally confused by the point scoring - I guess I need to learn more about multi board big-O... is board one worth more than the others?

$72 in the pot, each board worth $24, split between best high and best low. If no low is possible on a board, the high hand gets it all. Need three different cards A-8 on a board for a low to be possible at all.

The Aladdin set is so cool.

My wife got her cast off today. This is her ankle, and this is NOT the doctor's incision. Apparently it is healing quite well.

Spoiler: If squeamish, don't look!

After what you mentioned, happy for you guys that it wasn't anything permanent! Is this something where it's stay off and away, and you're hopefully good to go in however many months, or is this something with getting everything working again with months of PT?

There's a pin through her heel and up through her leg bone that comes out in 4 weeks. Non-weight-bearing for about 8 weeks after that. Then PT. The doctors were not too worried about bone and ligament healing, that is pretty routine. They were most worried about this trauma to the ankle skin, infection, that sort of thing. It's a Alex Smith / Dak Prescott type of injury. Alex Smith had complications from flesh eating bacteria, for example, because when his skin broke open he got dirt and debris from the football field into the exposed injury. My wife was wearing long pants, long socks, and construction boots, and her injury had zero exposure to the ground.

It's funny how doctors try to shield you from these bad scenarios. We had a pregnancy where my wife had HELLP syndrome, but they didn't tell us that until it was over. We looked at each other like dude, just tell us what the eff is going on and we will handle our business. We had another pregnancy end at around 17 weeks when an ultrasound revealed water around the baby's heart. They had kid gloves on when they told us, and we were like dude, just tell us what the eff is going on, and when they did, we handled our business. We lost a baby, but we handled our business. They could have told us three weeks ago that they were worried about infection and the skin tear, and we would have had the same attitude, dude, just tell us what the eff is going on and we will handle our business.

My wife and I are well-grounded spiritually. If either of us was to get news we were going to die tomorrow, guess what? Dude, just tell us what the eff is going on, and we will handle our business. If it is my time to go, so be it. "Why me?" is a shit attitude. "Why NOT me?" is better. That's our take. Some days your luck is horrible, it can happen to anybody. Just tell me what the eff is going on, and I will handle my business.

Word, I'm always glad I have my wife with my and the kids stuff, because she speaks medical jargon and can cut through the BS.

Well, damn good that it seems to be past the "danger part". It's gotta suck to be off the feet for months, but better than it could've been. Well wishes to both of you during the transition!
