:pals

She’s the patient not me. She’s doing much better and hopefully going home tomorrow. But just wanted to mention it because I’ve told her NOTHING about what’s going on in the outside world lol. Though I know she knows something is up with drumpf and Iran because another room was blasting it on tv the other night. (Complaint: why do they let tvs in hospitals go up to a volume where people outside the room can hear it??? Not cool)

... Friday at home. What I found was 100% anti trump from my doctors and nurses.

I hope your wife does better. She's welcome to all the blessing I haven't used up yet. Bless her.

on me!
Hope your wife is doing well.

I hope she gets to go home tomorrow. Sleeping in one's own bed is the best medicine!!!

Nah, nothing happening.....oh, wait....

... when we finally get into the streets for regime change. Put me in front line. No fear! I still have a pair of my '60s black Converse protest shoes.

Welcome back

He has a very dry since of humor but a good heart. I have experienced it first hand for more than 20 years.

Glad you are home and feeling better.

At least it was a brief stay, and you're now feeling more yourself. Stay that way!

... that was just a few days before Christmas along with a second bag. That was depressing. No one is sure what the 'bug' is or even wear exactly it's hiding.

When they took my Bladder, they everything from and including my prostate to both kidneys. They replaced the ureter with sections from my colon. When he opened to the colon he realized there wasn't as much as he thought, so they stopped surgery for over an hour to figure out how Dr Warrior had done her surgery, totally freaking my wife out because of how long it was taking. A thought is that maybe if he could have harvested a few more inches for more slack. The connection at the kidney had a lot scar tissue that was slowing down that kidney's draining, but that it was still at 70% production and took about 15 minutes longer to drain. That little blockage is where they thought the bacteria might be holding out.

The big problem with the colon-ureter is colons have no pain sense, so earlier detection is takes longer before there are are clear symptoms.

This is something that I know one of my Muslim women doctors will solve once I get the American male urologists out of the way.

This something I taught my sales reps: don't ask for the man in charge, talk to the woman who knows what's going on. I will lick this thing yet.

Doc put me under, then got an emergency call to clean up someone else's mess. He figured I was under - I could wait. Unfortunately, he didn't tell my family. They were expecting a relatively short surgery.

Then he accidentally punctured the pleura around my lungs and he had to come fess up (not that I would have known if he hadn't). Not his best day. But still my favorite doctor in the world.

That's a shame that the doctors couldn't find where your sepsis originated. When I had sepsis two years ago, my doctors couldn't find the source either. They theorized that I got to the ER and on antibiotics so quickly that the culture reports never showed anything. My symptom was feeling off, that's it. I felt sick for the week I was hospitalized, but there was no pain connected with it.

I hope that you keep feeling better and that your women Muslim doctors can isolate the cause. Sepsis is serious.

... with four hospitalizations, a case of Brucillosis tossed in. I pay close attention to the machine. Fortunately I limited my debasement coming up.

Never smoked tobacco, been drunk maybe 5 or 6 times in my life, the first time in the Navy, never ate pills, used coke or opioids or meth.

I did use psychedelics for four or so years before I joined the Navy and still occasionally use pot for pain, or sleep or amusement not overly often. By the way, the Navy has done studies showing THC has beneficial effect on bladder cancer. And there are VA counselors who unofficially recommend it to treat PTSD. It was recommended to our son for his PSTD from tours in Iraq. Made great difference. Changed my wife's attitude about pot.

No doubt I gotta go some day. It's part of the deal. Just not this way and not too soon. No fear.

Pot is completely legal in Illinois. I don't use it because my youthful experiments with it came to a halt because it gave me terrible headaches. Not worth the pain. It's a great reliever of pain. I did try cannabis cream for my bad knees, but it didn't help. Shots of cortisone into the knee do help.

At least you've come through the latest healthcare crisis. Don't go for your second ambulance ride too soon.

I had surgery to fix a detached retina in early December. The retina specialist I see is happy with the eye's progress. Now I'm hoping that both eyes start working together adequately so that I can read books again. I did order a pair of reading glasses the other day to help myself along.

Take care of yourself!

Despite the mess the country's currently in.

Glad you're feeling better.

Even more glad you're feeling better.
I had an outpatient thing on Monday, but I was only there around 4 hours total. Much less involved than your visit.
Get well!

I don't want to be anywhere but home for 5 days in a row.
At least your sense of humor is in good health.

Welcome home

... and techs are. And how good the menu was. Everybody cheerful and polite. And they all without exception were anti-TACO. Here in dead Red central Texas.

Hope you continue to convalesce.

Congrats on your release from the hospital--I certainly know how exhilarating the experience can be. Take it easy and take care.

The last time I tried, I broke the whole key. So I count this as a major 2026 victory!

I hope you're feeling much better!

Chubbie Checker released an R&B cut of "California Girls". I just got to find it.

four "losers" were slightly injured in a training accident.

Krasnov criticized a NATO ally. We suddenly find we don't have too much ammunition any more. Navy has been doing some joint training with Netanyahoo. Oil prices went up a few cents.

Not anything of note though.

Unless you count Trump channeling Bush/Cheney.

But the news may make you turn back around and be readmitted.

... not me, man. I'm ready to go down fighting the power.

Maybe they're the same person.

That's the guy.

Texas had a little excitement, but it wouldn't be Texas without it, right?

... A horrible number of domestic shootings.

I hope you have a smooth recovery.❤️❤️❤️

For four days in space, but when you return it's the same old place," sang Barry McGuire. But welcome back, glad you are here.

How was the food?

surgery. Prayers and healing vibes for a quick recovery.

They usually kick people out after 4 days but you got the "courtesy day".

A hospital with good food? That's worth sharing with the rest of us Central Texas folks.

... own burgers, deli sandwiches, omelettes, about 30 different sides over 50% vegetarian items - seriously good food.

I'd go a few miles out of my way to be treated at a hospital like that!

A friend had a bad experience at Baylor Scott and White in Kyle and I'd let that color my opinion of them. Maybe I need to take a closer look. She has a dramatic personality with a touch of paranoia so maybe what was said was misunderstood by her.

My ex-husband had something like this, but it settled mainly in his lower leg and foot. They ended up having to amputate his foot. His turned out to be MRSA, the resistant to antibiotics superbug. It's a sneaky bacteria and hard to treat.

Keep us posted and I hope you get to feeling better

... Tell your old man I'm pulling for him. I'd rather have my issues than his.

Sending healing vibes to you to stay healthy and strong!

Welcome back.

You may have been a bit confused, neighboring country ending with an “N” instead of “q”.

Me in virtual recovery. I had hip surgery 3 weeks ago, it's a long progress.

Happy to hear you are better!

I tripped over my dog and fell down hard fracturing my hip, ouch!

Lesson learned watch where you are going at all times!

... a few years before passed and was back up on his feet within a few weeks. Surprised the heck out of me that that was even possible.

Great and most welcome news, at the same time!

You take it easy, okay? And yes, please do let us know how you’re doing!

Get well and take care of yourself

I'm glad you're back out, though. How's the prognosis looking? Are you getting better now?
