nostr:npub1uxz060za0sz7uzncy45jcksak2lr9wks0hrgug54cvpm9ma8agkqs35ma4 More than a few people used to complain that you were just too into lecturing. So I paid more attention and quickly discovered that was a feature not a bug. Please keep doing what you do. Someone has to.

Good morning. Morning Joe is actually exhibiting No Labels hysteria. Maybe he'll have nostr:npub1f7tgvj544ecwzhl5sclexhk777wwhgdyu7evgr2uqzzfddm28r6q6v0ml8 and nostr:npub17ffx329ckyel5vl2856lgxkf0jw9cpapt2r29rvzgl339dprpn3q2qmqym on tomorrow to explain it all to him. And maybe I'll discover I'll discover my hernia is really a pregnancy. .

Driving back to the island I stumbled on Megan Kelly's show on Sirius XM. The whole show was on a new book about, believe it or not, Rev. Jeremiah Wright and the Obamas (author always refers to them as 'Barack and Michelle.'). I kid you not. It was preposterous fabulism from end-to-end. Kelly was "concerned" for our democracy.

Back home on the Island. Looking forward to a the remainder of my vacation spent not lifting, running, coughing, sneezing, or laughing. Good times.

What a surprise. It's a hernia. A little bigger than it was. Still needs a surgeon to verify, but their money is on that as the culprit. As was mine. Just cost me another $250 ER deductible for that Comfort level of knowing that I can now sneeze and cough without dying. It will just hurt like hell. Until I get home when I can look forward to another surgery. How's your vacation going?

It's a little strange hoping that CT scan reveals a hernia. But I really would like to know what is causing this, and that would be the least ugly cause I've heard of thus far.

That was the fastest CT scan on record. In and out of there in 5 minutes. I talked my CT nurse and phlebotomist into sharing a port in my arm. One less needle. I'm learning this game.

nostr:npub1mve7272vz3tuxrdkcz6jnf7nvy7xuke0ysl34clhk0f8hxx3epxsx50h4t I just reviewed your suggestions with Katie my PA here in the ER. She was impressed by my Mastodon connections. I was impressed by her. I may have to come back here someday and ask her out. They are setting up a CT scan. What a surprise!

Back in the emergency room. Waiting for an eval. I miss the night time staff. At least the computer remembered me and all my metadata.

Good morning. I don't want to live in a world where Asa Hutchinson is the voice of reason. If I should suddenly expire, and you need to know why, nostr:npub1f7tgvj544ecwzhl5sclexhk777wwhgdyu7evgr2uqzzfddm28r6q6v0ml8 can probably explain it to you.

nostr:npub148rj8ffcqvllr63760j8wux5w6zcgtlsle503zfxmh2zc8sqs67q3k0yv8 I don’t know how you find an advocate while traveling in Canada and commuting to Michigan for ER visits.do you?

Consider what a bird strike does to an airliner’s jet engine.
