I hope I can buy chewing gum with my EBT card.

Because it’s becoming seriously, seriously important medically.  The steroids have raised my appetite to the point that if I don’t chew gum, I try to eat things.  And my stomach is too paralyzed to let me eat things without them spilling over into my lungs and trying to kill me.  So gum is rapidly becoming a necessity item.

I bet I’ll totally get judged for pulling out an EBT card to buy gum, but fuck it.  If I can pay for it that way, I will, because it’s as necessary as food would be if I could eat.  (Even though it’s actually necessary to keep me from killing myself by eating.)
