I had PT today. The nerve issues that led to spine surgery in August are mostly better except in the pointer and index fingers of my right hand. It seems to be a weakness of a specific muscle involved with bending the wrist backwards (and typing). PT did some “nerve scraping” today:
An inside forearm with several very large, reddish brown bruises.

This is hilarious.
Dr. Prasad did not want to be a distraction to the great work of the FDA in the Trump administration and has decided to return to California and spend more time with his family,” Health and Human Services Department spokesperson Andrew Nixon told STAT. “We thank him for his service and the many important reforms he was able to achieve in his time at FDA.

The Oversight Project also didn’t provide an interview to Inside Higher Ed. In an email, Howell wrote, “UNC is a public school which has a long track record of discrimination. Syllabi are public records and belong to the public. We intend to let the public know what is being taught at a public school. That’s not intimidation, it’s good governance and transparency. If a professor is too much of a wimp to let me read his syllabus then he’s in the wrong business.” When asked to provide a list of donors to the Oversight Project, Howell responded, “And no of course I’m not sending you a list of donors but please do send donors to our website.”

My mom’s town has a huge three day party, complete with parade, rides, and carnival stuff as well as a huge fireworks display on the last night. This is the view from her backyard.

Reading this. Great so far.
A book with cover, the cover is a beach scene but all the images out of focus. The book title is Culpability by Bruce Holsinger.

I am feeling prepared for my spinal fusion surgery on Wednesday (c5-7)! Or at least for the recovery phase.

lol. I just did Lolo’s alt text first and forgot to mention that he was dashing!
Dashing black cat with two bright yellow eyes, fur glistening in the sun, lying on grey concrete. His tail ends with a poof of fluff because a groomer thought it was cute.

I know I should not be surprised by the rhetoric in the second paragraph of the screenshot but I am.
The University of Virginia’s president, James E. Ryan, has told the board overseeing the school that he will resign in the face of demands by the Trump administration that he step aside to help resolve a Justice Department inquiry into the school’s diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, according to three people briefed on the matter. For the leader of one of the nation’s most prominent public universities to take such an extraordinary step demonstrates President Trump’s success in harnessing the investigative powers of the federal government to accomplish his administration’s policy goals.
