I'm dealing with only 90% of my colon and 5 feet of intestine left while trying to maintain a cheery face/attitude on a everyday basis. Which, I've decided, on most days, I do. At the beginning of my new life I did not realize how grateful I would become for the opportunity to continue living and will see what the Creator has in store for me. * *BTW: shitz* - Just another way of saying crap, (noun), and is used to express anger or frustration or confusion or excitement etc... Take your pick
Been strange this month. Body must be further adapting to the Short Bowel condition once again despite late doctors and going with out my meds multiple times because they are too swamped to rewrite the prescriptions.
Small note.... Got a new GI doctor. Ran out of Lomotil
and Codeine. Requested refills 1 week prior to running out. F'ing new
doctor's office staff, nor him, have called the pharmacy to confirm the
Lomotil dosage nor prescribed the Codeine. Am abso-frikken-lutely in pain, ass hurts, intestines writhing, diarrhea, tired.
What the f have I done to deserve this kind of service and I don't even have Oboma care.........
I know completely out of context and adds fuel to the fire... Or so say the democrats.. You should see what those democrats from New Mexico voted against...sickening grisham
When is America going to get serious about the problem of white kids getting suspended from school for nothing? By now you’ve heard the story of Ahmed Mohamed, crowned by the Daily Beast “The Muslim Hero America Has Been Waiting For” after the 14-year-old brought to school a beeping, strange-looking homemade concealed device that turned out to be a clock. School officials, thinking, as 95% of Americans would, that it kinda looked like a bomb, hauled him out of class. Police put him in handcuffs and, even after the confusion passed, the boy was suspended from school. That earned Mohamed a planned trip to the White House, a message of support from Hillary Clinton, an offer to stop by Facebook to meet Mark Zuckerberg and an invitation to be an intern at Twitter. The police overreacted. Yet the device did look like something Ethan Hunt would lob out of a helicopter at the last minute in “Mission: Impossible.” As National Review’s Charles Cooke pointed out on Twitter, the scary-looking tangle of wires “looks a lot more like a bomb than a pop tart looks like a gun.” Josh Welch, a white Maryland kid with ADHD who was 7 years old when he was kicked out of school for chewing a Pop-Tart into the shape of a pistol and pretending to shoot other students with it, must be puzzled. Where’s his White House invitation? Where’s his chance to start networking at Facebook? His parents were forced to hire a lawyer and spent a year and a half just trying to get the suspension erased from the kid’s record. They were repeatedly refused. “I stand with Ahmed, too. But I also stand with Alex Stone,” noted Reason writer Robby Soave. Alex Stone, a 16-year-old white kid from Summerville, SC, wrote a short story in which he imagined using a gun to kill a dinosaur. For this his locker was searched and he was arrested, handcuffed, charged with “disorderly conduct” and suspended from school for three days. Obviously the White House and Mark Zuckerberg couldn’t be bothered to comment, but you’d think that, at the very least, Stephen King would have sent out a tweet expressing outrage that imagination was being punished. Nada. In Dyer County, Tenn., Kendra Turner says she was suspended for saying, “Bless you” after a student sneezed, and that her teacher told her that she would have no “godly speaking in class.” Modal TriggerThe homemade clock that Ahmed Mohamed brought to schoolPhoto: APA school administrator said, “This was not a religious issue at all, but more of an issue the teacher felt was a distraction in her class.” Uh-huh. School leadership offered no explanation for the photos posted by students that showed “bless you” on a list of expressions banned in the classroom. Turner is still waiting for her call from President Obama. Are white kids being punished en masse for dopey quasi-infractions because of their race? Of course not. That’s ridiculous. But it’s equally absurd to suggest that you have to be Muslim, or brown-skinned, or live in Texas, to be subjected to overenthusiastic use of school discipline and police force. “It never would have happened to a white kid”? It happens to white kids all. The. Time. The main difference between the Ahmed Mohamed case and the others is that the mainstream media and the leftist point of view it presents just can’t let go of Ahmed. Ahmed is too useful to their narrative to be a one-day story. That Bristol Palin said on Facebook that President Obama didn’t need to get involved in the situation proved irresistible for the media, which loves to depict America as a bitter standoff between red-state hicks on the one hand and sophisticated members of the cool bicoastal techno-media club on the other. Let’s just savor for a moment that the musings of the daughter of an unemployed former governor constitute national news. This year the brother of a sitting president made derogatory comments about the leader of the free world and the reaction from the media was crickets. Malik Obama gets the courtesy of being ignored because he has also said some crazy things. Now imagine Bristol Palin making loony statements. Would the media decline to cover them? For 14 years and two weeks now, the left has been desperate to find some evidence, any evidence, that Muslims in general are facing deep-seated discrimination because a few Muslims attacked us on 9/11. That American Muslims have instead mostly been treated with respect and courtesy ought to be a point of pride, but at no point will the left ever say, “Isn’t it great that we’re such a pluralistic and tolerant country?” The left-led push to turn a man who was, as of 2004, an obscure state senator with no particular accomplishments, into the president four years later, was centrally and crucially about race. Everyone else was being subjected to a bait-and-switch. Instead of being credited with enlightenment for being the only white-majority country ever to elect a black leader, now we’re told that everything is about racism.
I feel so bad that I have fallen away from updating this blog on a regular basis .... If I promise to keep it up that might be just a little bit of lie.
Live a real exiting life - - as evidenced by the lack of posts. My biggest drama and excitement? My INR shot up to 4.8 with no rational reason... everyone seems (except me) to be a little bit panicked...
No sniveling here BUT if it ain't my luck. I've known for a while I had a lump in my left boob but it was no big deal Until it started to hurt. How I found out there was pain is when my little doggie jumped up to sit on my lap and he leaned against my chest and I felt the pain. Goofy pain instead of being warm it felt cold. Did nothing about it since I knew I had an upcoming primary care visit.
Well yesterday was the visit and I told the doc about the lump. He did his touchy feely thing and said yep, there's a lump. Things then got serious.
Anyway on Friday I am going to the radiology center (same one my wife goes to) and going to have a sonogram done with the possibility of a needle biopsy.
Told my wife last night if it is cancer I am going to enlist whatever/whoever lawyers who work on behalf veteran's and hire them and go after the VA. I've know about the cover up regarding agent orange since the VA released the documents in 2010. I was station at Korat RTAFB in Thailand where agent orange was sprayed in the bomb dump while I was stationed there.
I did not want the hassle, and believe me it would be dealing with the VA, of dealing with it since I have real good insurance etc etc after spending 33.5 years with the Air Force. But I swear by all that is holy I will go bankrupt in going after the VA.
My birthday is coming up on the 24th. I need nothing and I want nothing. Gonna have a quiet day - which, by the way, would be a normal day anyway.
Maybe play a little HALO - - smile
BUT I am going to sound mean spirited now.
My daughter's birthday is the 23rd. Cool.... But so is my real brothers. I have no wish to say happy b'day to him at all. It has been 4 years 8 months since I came out of the hospital after having the heart attack and my intestines removed.
In all that time he has never asked me once how I was doing, NOT ONE FUCKING TIME. I get it, I have nothing he needs and since our sister has died, nothing even close to something resembling a relationship. In the beginning I called him twice to just talk but nothing out of him since. I understand he lives in Ohio - I mean that is so far away and all but c'mon not even a Facebook message or a text, or a tweet. Jesus have mercy on me.
I'm sorry I just can't be a good enough christian to let it slide.
Oh well. So much for being a nice guy.............
I get it also that the above sounds clipped when you read it but I just don't feel like making it smoother..
Seems like I have lost some postings. Can't imagine where they went. No, honestly, I know I did not delete them they are just gone. I know I posted the March weight statistics for sure. This will be my post for this AM. Be back later
My bowel movements have drastically changed since I have had all my teeth pulled out. I started to eat (kinda/sorta) protein shakes using the GNC Pro Performance® Mass XXX™ - Vanilla Milkshake protein mix. Damn, this stuff is good. I never would have EVER EVER EVER thought I would say something like that.
Simple shake consisting of 2 Banana's, teaspoon of peanut butter, 2-3 scoops of GNC, 1 cup whole milk, and whatever type of frozen berries we have on hand (although the cherries are best!), plus cup of ice or 10 ice cubes. Oh but they taste so good.........
Anyway, I am having a NORMAL (Oprah/Dr Oz) movement in the AM and who woulda thunk that.
Maybe one an hour later or so and then I am just like normal people. Been like this for a month or so and you can see it is reflected in my weight stats.
