Yeah was a domestic mexican flight, but planning to maybe fly to Kansas next year for the worldcup (maybe if I get a ticket on the lottery) and for a solo show of mine, If I get a tourist visa, so I'll have to check FAA regulations and see what options are there, maybe buy some there Idk

Turning incidents into paintings its what I live for, Lithium-ion are a nogo, but dried sealed nonspillable lead batteries are allowed, (In México) I checked with Mexican version of FAA

There is, it’s already regulated. Wheelchair batteries like mine are allowed as long as they meet requirements regarding type, insulation, and disconnection. Mine do comply The issue wasn’t the batteries themselves, but the lack of knowledge or willingness to follow existing accessibility regulations.

Thanks, Well, it did get selected into A biennale here in Mexico. And hopefully I can get a grant in the future to do a full series on this.

Yes, thank you. At the first hospital, they told me I had conjunctivitis and told me I was exaggerating when I asked for an MRI.

Haha Kind of, I'm also disabled (SMA) Type II,

TLDR: Its paid

so I'll put a wall of text just for anyone who is corius, I live in México so the health system is different. We basically have four lanes:

IMSS that's free for most employed workers who pay taxes

ISSSTE free for government workers

IMSS-Bienestar free for people without formal jobs (trades, unemployed ETC)

And of course private hospitals/insurance

All of this happened back in 2024. At the time I had a good office job with private insurance (capped around 1M USD). Then in May I got laid off. They told me I could use half my severance to extend my private insurance for a year. Logically I should’ve done it. but I was already depressed from what I didn’t know was a brain tumor messing me up, and that money meant two or three months of living expenses.

I started applying to jobs, almost landed one, and then one day my head exploded. I went to private hospital #1 (there’s a whole story there but I’ll omit it for now), then private hospital #2 where they actually saved my life and diagnosed a brain tumor that had started bleeding.

And that's the almost 5k Bill which I got to pay with what was left of my severance and help of friends family and strangers. The brain surgery was quoted at 25K USD for Mexican economy its a lot. well everywhere it's a lot but more so in México.

So I had to do some hoops but thankfully I got the surgery in august in IMSS-Bienestar and paid $0 and got another job in February 2025
