Neat! Thanks again!

Now the media is having orgasms about the "Delta" variant. They think people will go back to masks, lockdowns, etc. No. not just no, but no fucking way, Ike. Makes you wonder if the Chinese aren't releasing these variants on the installment plan, just to fuck with the world. I'm so over...

Post-op appointment with spine surgeon this morning. He removed stitches, or rather one long, running stitch. Took X-rays. All the hardware is well-seated and spine is growing bone to complete the fusion. You cannot believe how happy I was to see those X-rays, after all that's happened. 👍...

The Biden regime's still trying to get people vaccinated... https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/a-tough-slog-white-house-struggles-to-increase-vaccination-rates-as-delta-variant-surges/ar-AALthtp?li=BBnb7Kz https://archive.ph/XuqIc Looks like the various state incentive programs to get jabbed...

Chinese once again acting like assholes, even when we already know they produced this virus and let it get away. https://reason.com/2021/06/25/chinese-officials-are-obscuring-the-truth-about-covid-19/?utm_medium=email https://archive.ph/QWIJB

Trust she is taking her meds. I take all my meds to stay on top of the various conditions.

My paternal grandfather, dad, one brother, and wife have/had diabetes. So far (mid-60's) have avoided it, get regular blood tests.

Don't know how high your blood sugar is, but my doctor told me that particular reading can change very quickly. Would say a set of readings over a period would give you a better idea of the situation than just one reading. A more important reading is the A1C, which has to do with the...

Three weeks today since the surgery. Doing a little more every day, without pushing things. Rest some but not as much as when returning from the hospital. Walked some outside today without a cane or walker. Felt pretty good. Grateful for the progress, and triply grateful not to live with...

Well, have pretty much graduated to the cane from the walker. Drove myself to primary care doctor this morning, then to Costco. There, the shopping cart was my walker. Walked around some, probably the most walking done since returning from the hospital. Taking it easy now, a little...

Not to worry. Not your fault. You've acted in good faith throughout. When the coins show, they show. 👍

The point....sometimes the only point is to provide a person that will at least pretend to listen to what another person has going on. The person venting can feel that he's not totally alone with his ideas. That can be a huge help.

Well, 15 days since surgery. Better today than last Friday. Just taking things slow and easy. Try to do just a little bit more every day without overextending myself. Been some ups, downs, and weird shit, but trend still staying upward. 👍

Ya, if someone asks me about joining, I ask them why. Tell them if they are joining make sure they know what they want to get out of the time in the service.

It's an issue because West Point is saying one thing and doing another. Vaccinations haven't been mandated. If they were the cadets would have had to get them. West Point makes a very big deal about producing leaders. Harassing cadets who choose not to be vaccinated, then, far as I can...
