I’m still in the hospital. Tomorrow I’ll meet with an occupational and a physical therapist to form a plan. The doctor thinks the place I live has become more severe than my body can handle. I’ll keep you posted.

Given that my chair is more comfortable than my bed, let me try to give you at least least a little coverage of the Republican hate Obama and celebrate the murders festival. What I have seen is more ugly than that description.
In speech after speech at the National Rifle Association’s annual convention here this weekend, its top leaders and political allies blasted President Obama and other gun control advocates, warned against “all-out, historic attacks” on the constitutional right to possess firearms, and issued a rallying cry to members to become a political force in next year’s midterm elections and the 2016 presidential rac…
…The lineup of speakers at Friday’s Leadership Forum looked like the early field for the 2016 Republican presidential primaries, featuring Senator Ted Cruz and Gov. Rick Perry of Texas, Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, and Sarah Palin, the former Alaska governor and Republican vice-presidential candidate, as well as video appearances by Representative Paul Ryan and Gov. Scott Walker, both of Wisconsin.
Ms. Palin, wearing a black T-shirt that said “Women Hunt,” criticized gun control proposals that “won’t even work for their stated intended purposes.” Mr. Cruz warned that any infringement on the Bill of Rights would undermine the entire Constitution. And just about every speaker poked fun at the N.R.A.’s favorite cast of enemies: Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., Senator Dianne Feinstein of California, Senator Charles E. Schumer of New York, and Mr. Bloomberg, whom Mr. LaPierre described as the “national nanny.”
Critics of the N.R.A. lined up outside the convention center…

A northern war of aggression ?!!? Riiiiiiight! On the rest of their raving, you decide.
In case you’re wondering where I was, yesterday, I’m posting this from my hospital room. Last night, for reasons unknown, my blood sugar level crashed all the way to 24. I was completely out of my mind, hallucinating like a Republican on election day. Nothing like that has ever happened to me before. When I arrived at the hospital, they decided that I had not recovered sufficiently from pneumonia/bronchitis and checked me in. .My friend brought my notebook earlier. I will not sleep, because they poke and prod every 2 minutes. Plus they have me on an Oxygen meter that screams an alarm at me at least once every two minutes. A saline drip pumps it in faster than I can pee out. And the food… Personally, I’m considering an act of cannibalism in retribution. In any case, a picture is worth a thousand words. I hope you are entertained.
Yesterday my fever broke. Felt miserable, but necessary. Sick of sick.
Sorry about the error in yesterday’s graphic. It is most frustrating to have unvested so much pain into creating it, only to produce a flawed result. I slept all day and all night an am barely conscious now.
Trying to imagine why this utter fool would pick this, of all days, to open his pResidentiual Library, celebrating his “accomplishments”, boggles the mind. However, it does serve to confirm that he is the worst President in US history!
I’m having a rough day. Yesterday, I cough so violently that I strained lower right abdominal muscles. Therefore last night and today, every time I cough, which is continuously, I feel like I’m being stabbed in the side. With Levofloxacin, I typically turn the corner on the fourth of fifth day. Nevertheless, today’s other article was too important not to share.
This morning I took a cab to my doctor. I was a half hour early. She was a half hour late. She told me she suspected pneumonia, because my O2 was only 85%. She called an ambulance and sent me to the ER. They poked and prodded all day. Then they said my pneumonia is not quire bad enough to admit me. The sent me home exhausted with the same prescription the doctor would have give me. I feel thoroughly frustrated.
