I try not to do 2 by Beau on the same day – but this one is different – it’s on how to stay warm with no power with a minimum of danger (at least the first part is) and it needs to be shared.
This just isn’t my week. WWWendy changed my Fentanyl patch to 100 mcg Yesterday afternoon, and it kicked in around Midnight, but it’s already disaster time again. I have not Republicated since I was in the hospital Friday, so my OIC is back and severe. Starting Saturday, I’ve been taking a 200 mg Docusate Sodium and a double dose of Dulcolax morning and evening and a dose od MIRAlax at noon. I did squeeze out a tiny bit this morning. Trying to push produced a tiny bit (1 tbsp.) of soft poo, but the pushing shot my pain level to 10 until I stopped pushing. I’ll call Providence Doctor at Home when they open to see if they can come give me a shot of Resistor. Yesterday I was in so much pain I didn’t know what day it was. Today, Republicans are waging an insurrection against my bowels. I hope your hump day is better than mine. ARGH!

Ah… the memories. If this was about Republicans it world be Lyin’ Everything! RESIST the Republican Reich!!
Yesterday I said I expected to be back in the saddle today. These are the circumstances I did not foresee. When WWWendy went to the hospital Oncology Center to pick up my patches and pills, there was nobody there. It was closed due to the ice blizzard. I have a few pills left, but I now have a 25 mg patch on instead of the 100 mg I’m supposed to have. I need to go back to bed, because being up makes the pain worse. We hope WWWendy can get them today. If so, I should be back tomorrow. May your Hump Day be as Happy as mine is Crappy!

Just so you know, in case you missed it, the Lincoln Project is having some issues (apparently one of their members turned out to be a little too Republican – Steve Schmidt has left them over it.) So nothing new from them today – and it may be a while, if ever.
Meidas Touch – What is really frustrating to me is the number of (very vocal) people on our side who have no idea what just happened.
Now This News – It’s probably more important to remember the ones who voted to acquit … but this list is so much shorter.
