Also a good day for a 3 Stooges marathon.
We need to make Good Trouble on Monday, Jan 20th, for Trump’s inauguration. I propose volunteer work, peaceful protesting and holding community space all while participating in a complete media blackout of the inauguration.

Now do Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard & Kash Patel.
BREAKING: In an unprecedented move, more than 75 Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging senators not to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as head of the Department of Health and Human Services.
It's the first time in history that Nobel laureates have come together to oppose a Cabinet choice.

"If you’re a health-care worker who sees a patient in a mask, put one on for them. Don’t make them ask. Don’t psychologize them. Don’t betray the trust they’ve shown you. They’ve put their lives in your hands. Don’t take that for granted, it’s not an easy thing for many of us to do"

It has been suggested that I get another opinion (what am I on 4th now)? At an NCI designated facility. Does anyone have any favorites? I can go pretty much anywhere.

Spent half the day in scheduled out patient surgery. I got a good report from the doctor now just waiting on pathology. All that to say I'm not sure I have the bandwidth for social media today.

Gotta love a dual purpose living room window. I feed the birds and squirrels and in return they entertain the cat and myself. I can always tell when he sees something because he whacks his tail back and forth. Seems like the fairest of trades to me. Oh that politics were so sane.

So Im just curious. Do medical providers really understand what it's like for patients in significant pain to hear, we can order this or that image or try this or that medication? Do they know the relief, the emotional lifting of spirit that happens when someone in distress feels heard?

This kind of thing never ends well for this cat yet somehow it never stops him. All I can do is watch the oncoming train and then check for injury and reassure.

First person accounts are that much more chilling. No wonder she supported VP Harris. How times change. I abhor Cheney senior. Or maybe she and her father are just that different.
