I'm losing my mind

And I haven't even had any chemo yet. I can't even begin to imagine what might happen if I ever do start treatment.

Anyways, I was texting a friend earlier, who we go out to dinner with on occasion, to see when our next plans were. He texted back that we had tentatively set up August 29th for dinner, at either AOC or Campanile in Los Angeles.

I immediately texted him back,
We did? 8/29 is like Friday!

He immediately texted back wondering what happened to the rest of July.

What was I thinking? 8/29 isn't Friday. It might be a Friday (I haven't checked the calendar), but it's definitely not this Friday. And July 29th, which is what I was actually thinking at the time, isn't Friday either. It's tomorrow.

Well that sure was a senior moment, if I'd never encountered one before.

I just hope it doesn't have anything to do with these nose bleeds I've been having, and which don't seem to be going away. (I had another episode at work this AM.) I contacted my oncologist this afternoon, hoping she will get me a referral to an ENT doctor, instead of me having to go see my PCP, and then get a referral, which will take even more time.

When did you have a nosebleed today?

People quite often get confused when they are "elderly" and I don't think it's been linked to any form of cancer yet. I walked all the way across the building and forgot why I went there in the first place. Maybe it's Arcturus!

About an hour after getting to work (you weren't there yet). I had just finished going through all the internal audit responses, and had just sat back down at my desk, when my nose started bleeding.

Again it only lasted about a minute, but it was a long minute. It's just a good thing I had a box of kleenex by my desk.

Vaccine Mandates, what are they good for?

Not much, that's for sure! Simply showing evidence of receiving a Covid-19 vaccine (whether fake or not), does not mean you are protected from getting Covid-19, nor spreading it, if infected. We are all different, and too many of us, i.e. people who are immunocompromised/ immunosupressed, the elderly, or others for various reasons, do not [cannot] mount an immune response as good as younger and healthier individuals. What is evidence of immunity is a quantitative antibody test showing you have developed antibodies, and to what degree, either from natural immunity or the vaccine.  That is what we should be testing for. That is what is important. But for too long, many, i.e. the FDA, doctors, and other health experts discouraged people (and still are) from getting antibody tests, because there was little knowledge about what level of antibodies are needed to impart immunity to the virus. That of course is true, to some extent, but how can we ever find out [learn] the answer to that q

History IS repeating itself

I didn't grow up during the rise and fall of Hitler and Nazi Germany, so for me to claim it feels like those are the times we are living in now, must be taken with a grain of salt. But I have seen enough movies, and read enough history to know, if the times we're living in now are not akin to the rise of a Nazism and Facism in Europe in the 1930's and 1940's, then we're not far off. If you can't see the parallels with Nazi Germany, then you must be living in a different country than me. Republicans and other right wing extremists will stop at nothing to subvert the will of the majority, forcing their beliefs, that they are the superior race and have been appointed by God, to impose their will on America, while they blame all our problems on immigrants, blacks and Jews. As I speak, Mitch McConnell, and his minions are raising roadblocks to all legislation designed to help average Americans under the guise of fiscal responsibility. They condone violent and verba

Open letter to all Democrats

Stop the nonsense! Continuing to go after Trump, without any hope of getting a conviction, does nothing more than provide Republicans with an obstructionist dialogue (now that they have come up with the unconstitutional talking point) in addition to giving Trump much needed publicity, when we should be ignoring him. It's the pure definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting a different result! Instead Democrats need to be laser focused on what is important to all Americans, i.e. healthcare, Social Security and Medicare, infrastructure reform, the Covid-19 vaccine rollout, to name just a few. And when you do talk about Trump, simply steer the conversation as to how the Trump administration botched everything, how Trump is responsible for the deaths of 400,000+ Americans, due to his inaction and the down playing of the pandemic, plus the deaths of 2 Capitol policeman during the insurrection Trump provoked and incited on January 6, 2021.
