Joy has a pacemaker and it seems to be working. She had a dialysis yesterday with no AFib. She’s cranky and hungry so she’s getting better. She needs to be able to walk before she can come home. I can’t keep driving to and from Seattle every day. gofund.me/44be2d8e7

Good News! Neither of us has been to the hospital in the last week!!!
Bad News: We just received a hospital bill for Joy’s hip replacement of $16,000!. There are more bills to come.
And More Bad News: I have been “put on hold” by a major client. Hope it picks up again.

Yay! We dodged a bullet! The cardiac cath showed no new problems with Joy’s heart!!
This means we can start planning for her getting out—-at least to the skilled nursing facility in Port Angeles.
We’ll find out when she can bail out tomorrow!

Tomorrow is the first surgery on Joy's eyes. If this works she will get some of her sight back. We will need help with medical costs and expenses. To save hotel bills, I'm driving back and forth from Port Angeles to Silverdale (a 2.5 hour drive.)

Adam Schiff tried to explain what the Democrats did yesterday on X. The Trumpies and the bots swarmed his post and posted evil images of Schiff being butt-raped and his mouth photoshopped into an anus. He tried to keep Schumer from surrendering, but WE ALL FAILED!

Here’s another diss to the military. Sure, the reason they deleted the page was because the most decorated unit in US military history is a non-white unit. But what they’ve done is to devalue the valor of the entire US Army. If you voted for Trump, this is what you bought.
The Army just deleted without explanation its page about the 442nd “GO FOR BROKE” infantry regiment—the Japanese American WW2 unit that is the most decorated in US military history.

Stop the Rethuglican posturing. Vote NO and take it to the people. Town Hall meetings everywhere, until the Republicans agree to negotiate in a bipartisan fashion. The government is already closed by Trump.
A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill.
