It’s a painful and exhausted day, here in the CatBox. The intake meeting with Providence Home Hospice was excellent, but it was long. I was sitting up and putting pressure on my spine from around 10:30 AM when Wendy arrived until about 5:30 PM when the intake nurse left. My meds will be delivered today. They are putting me on 5 mg methadone pills every eight hours plus up to 10 – 15 mg Oxycodone every 3 – 6 hours as needed for pain. No more patches. They will give me a shower a week and I’ll get 1 – 2 from WWWendy. I’ll receive a pants load of other services. I really like the way they are handling it, but recovering from that appointment will take a few days. Have a wonderful Sunday!

From The New Yorker: Donald J. Trump will use his speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference this weekend to announce that he has won the 2024 Presidential election.
According to leaked text from his cpac speech, Trump will claim that he won the 2024 election in a landslide and “everybody knows it.”
Trump will further state that any attempt to allege that the year 2024 has not arrived yet and is, in fact, not scheduled to occur until three years from now is “a rigged hoax.”
Dang, Andy! We all knew Trump** would say that. Furthermore, we knew that every damn one of those idiotic CPUKE Sheeple would believe it. RESIST the Republican Reich!!
From Alternet: Though House Democrats in the end had the votes to assure final passage of a sweeping Covid-19 relief package overnight—securing approval with a final 219-212 tally—it was the Republican Party membership in total lockstep, joined by two lonely members of the majority party, that voted to deny struggling American families, frontline workers, state governments, local communities, small businesses, and the nation’s schools and public health system nearly $2 trillion in urgent assistance to stabilize the economy, beat back the pandemic, and ensure solid footing for a robust recovery.
The two Democrats who sided with the GOP were Rep. Jared Golden, who represents Maine’s 2nd District, and Rep. Kurt Shrader, who represents Oregon’s 5th District.
That one of these is an Oregon Congressional makes me want to scream. In 2020, I donated money to Shrader’s campaign in the general. He was running against Amy Ryan Courser, the epitome of everything about the Republican Reich that makes it evil. Amy is a Koch sucker. So I would support him again in the same circumstances, but before it comes to that, we need to primary his DINO ass out of there! RESIST the Republican Reich!!

I’m still exhausted, but things are moving ahead. I have my formal intake interview with Providence Home Hospice tomorrow. They will come here to meet with Wendy and I, evaluate my needs, and set up a plan to meet them. So I’ll know more soon, but in the meantime, I have a lot of records to collect.
Yesterday Nameless suggested that I should learn about deep breathing for stress management. Rather than leave that in comments, I want to move that up to front street. Not only am I familiar with deep breathing for stress management, I’ve been teaching it to my my guys as part of my prison volunteer work for over twenty years. I am especially thankful to Nameless for bringing it up, because the stress came on me so fast that I completely forgot to use the technique myself. Now I am using it and it is helping. Thank you, good friend!
Now, I need a nap. TGIF!

It’s an exhausted day here in the CatBox. In a telephone conference, Evelyn, my former Oncologist, explained that as a doctor she must recommend curative solutions. She agreed that the only thing she has to offer (chemo) will probably kill me. Therefore she referred me to Providence Home Hospice yesterday afternoon. WWWendy will be contacting them today to set up an appointment for an evaluation to set up a service plan. What I do know is that all my medical care, will be provided by hospice and, except for emergency care, take place at home. I’ll learn more as time goes on. WWWendy is doing my grocery shopping today and will bring us subs for lunch. My stress level has been through the roof, and I have had very little sleep. I’ll keep you posted. God bless and have a fine day.
