Day 2 coming to an end

Today didn't seem as bad as yesterday.

The food wasn't quite as good (I was told it never is on the weekends), but I've been blessed for a second day without a roommate (something I doubt will last much longer), and Edie kept me company most of the day, which helped the time go by a little faster.

I was also able to take a shower and shave, which made me feel a little better.

Still, I haven't been told anything about when they're going to operate, and I was just informed by the nurse that I'm not allowed to have the tea kettle, I use to boil water for tea, in my room.

Oh well, I thought that was something that could happen, but no one said anything for a day and a half, so...... Anyways, for now I've hidden it in the bottom drawer of the nightstand, and I'll be more circumspect when I use it tomorrow.

I just wish the Cardiologist, the surgeon or somebody would come by and give me some more information. I'm pretty sure this waiting and the anxiety it's causing isn't doing my heart any good.

Marc. I remember waiting. I spent the first nite in the noisy ER. Never b without earplugs. No one could figure out what was wrong with me. A bad reaction to Mozibil? I had all the student neurologists, cardiologists and transplant docs stymied. 2 more nites in main hospital with "gourmet" food ( UCSD Thornton Hospital). I noticed my meds were getting changed up and was told this was my "new normal". Watch for that. Had to call for nurse to help me go potty. Then they sent me home with walker. Again I wish u the best.

Yeah I know I don't have much room to complain. So many people have it much worse than me.

I don't know what real adversity is, but I suspect I'm going to find out very soon. And I think that's what scares me the most.

I hope you're doing better Patti, and thanks for keeping me in your thoughts.

I am MUCH better. I have been working out with a personal trainer for a couple of years. I am stronger than I have ever been and will turn 63 next month. My MCL is indolent so when I relapsed last September I had Rituxan for 8 weeks and am now doing bimonthly maintenance.

Your story of 10 years no treatment is amazing. We have a guy on the MCL spreadsheet (#1) who has had the disease for 22 years and never achieved CR. He went many years with no treatment.

I will think positive thoughts for you on Tuesday.

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.
