Tomorrow Never Comes

  Our days come with many varieties of emotion. Emotions hurt when paired with the reality of the moment. Moments like today, this very evening, now …… In four days it will be six years since my son, my ‘Bubba’, ‘Jordan’ to most others, lost his battle with mental illness and drug addiction and   suicide stole his life. That same day suicide stole a part of my life. I am not sure if it would be proper to call such a day as an  ‘anniversary’. ‘ Anniversary ‘ is a term that is used to memorialize a ‘ special’  occassion. A pleasant memory. Such as  ‘Marriages, a child’s birth, graduation or personal birthday’ . Today does not fit into any of those scenarios. “What do you call a day that reminds you of the moment the universe reached out, grabbed your testicles and viscously twisted them until you vomited a part of your soul?” I wish I knew. I wish there was a word to describe how I feel today. For now all I can say is that sorrow is here today, perhaps it will lea...

The Redaction of the United States of America

  Do any citizens of the once great United States of America actually believe that Dictator Donald J Trump was going to allow unredacted Epstein files to be publicly  released ? Regardless of what the MAGA Cult   sheeple blindly believe. In regards to Trump not being mentioned within them, we all are quite aware that he is mentioned numerous times. Long before he entered the world of politics he had faced numerous Court challenges for accusations of sexual assault and the rape of minors. Due to his wealth and powerful alliances he bought his way out of facing the accusations in Court. On numerous occasions his lawyers arranged for the payment of large amounts of compensation to the victims. “Hush money”. Amounts that the common person can only dream of . Amounts that the parents of the minor victims reluctantly accepted in belief that the money would greatly improve their lives at the expense of their children. However, the “bribes”, (I state bribes because that is exactl...

WordPress Daily Prompt

What was the last thing you did for play or fun? Due to my health and mobility issues I rarely leave my home. That said, I find “fun” in my having intellectual, yet whimsical, interactions with none intellectual, non whimsical MAGA supporters. I enjoy watching as by simply conversing   and expressing my opinions causes their faces to change from a lighter shade of pale to a deep purplish red hue as their voices crackle with frustration due to their limited intellectual capability to understand someone who could care less what their defenseless defense may be. For their argument is null and void.

One of those moments

  This afternoon on the streetcar, coming home from seeing my neurologist, I experienced the most amazing moment. I hadn’t bothered to stream my music through my hearing aids like I nþormally do. After receiving the news about the mass in my head and the blockage of the stent, I simply wasn’t in a ‘music’ mood. That is, until the music found me. Passing   through Little Chinatown when this elderly, very elderly,   Oriental woman shuffled on board and had a seat next to me. We exchanged the ritual little smirk and slight nod of   acknowledgement   of each other’s existence. My attention returned back to staring out the window and watching   the   “Sheeple” people. All of a sudden this   petite ,  sweet   elderly   woman   started   humming   Simon   and Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water”. Being one of my lifetime all time favourite songs from my youth, I could not help myself and I, too, started humming alon...

Test Results From My Neurologist

Well Campers I saw my neurologist today regarding Mondays brain scans. Exactly  what I expected because I knew from my previous symptoms. The stent they put in last year is plugged. So, they are going to attempt to reopen it via an angioplasty. First they are going to increase my blood thinners to massive doses. Then they go in through my crotch with a catheter up to my brain and inflate a balloon to stretch the carotid artery. They made it very clear that this is my only option and if it doesn’t work there is no “Plan B”. Due to how deep in my brain they had to implant the stent last year, there’s not much they can do. Open surgery is not an option. And usually doesn’t work. There’s only a 25% chance of success. They made it very clear that this is my only option and if it doesn’t work there is no “Plan B”. There’s not much they can do and usually this doesn’t work. If it doesn’t work then more than likely I will have a massive stroke on the table or soon after. But, I got this! “...

Care For Our Healthcare

Lately it is not uncommon to overhear people complaining, and rightfully so, about the decline in our healthcare. There is no rejecting the fact that our “healthcare systems” are in trouble. Notice   I state  “Healthcare Systems”  and not  “Healthcare” ? THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO ……….. “ Healthcare ” is the “ treatment  ” received from a Medical Professional. “ Healthcare Systems ” are the  “Logistical”   pathways used to correlate and plan that “ Healthcare”. There are multi problematic reasons accountable for the current state of our healthcare affairs. The primary and largest of the contributing factors is   “STAFFING”. Current staffing shortages and the logistical consequences that accompany them are responsible for the closure of “ Emergency   Rooms, Patient Wards, Clinics and Outpatient Care, etc”. The main culprit is the massive shortage of  “Family Physicians”. “ Family Physicians “   are the backbone of healthca...
