I did not have the best of weekends. The neuralgia (if that is what it is) got so bad I could not stand the pain. I drove myself to what used to be an Urgent Care facility, but it had moved. I am not sure what is in its place, I think another hospital, but the staff there were all very kind to me. They said I really needed to go to the Emergency Room. I said I was in intense pain, I just couldn't wait there for hours (the waiting time there is worse than our ER waiting times, and people - US citizens not just the uninsured foreigners - actually have to PAY for the privilege of waiting hours) however I digress. They said I wouldn't have to wait hours if I turned up in an ambulance, so they called one for me and I was seen as soon as I arrived.
The bottom line is that I was given prescriptions for pain relief. All the time I was thinking "I've been in this movie before". Unbearable pain, trying to avoid the ER, ending up there in an ambulance and going home with prescriptions.
Of course my car is still sitting in the car park of what is no longer an Urgent Care facility, and Bill's assistant Kevin picked me up this morning to get it.
I went straight away to pick up the ailing desktop from Staples and as soon as I got back home I knocked back some pain relief, which seems to be helping the pain but is knocking me out.
So before I am totally knocked out, I'll see what is on my camera, waiting to be shared with you.
I think the insufferable Donald Trump has shot himself in the foot with his comments on John McCain, who is, quite rightly, regarded as a war hero having suffered five years in a North Korean POW camp. Donald Trump was rubbishing him, saying he got caught and he doesn't like people who
get caught. He has also stated that he hates Mexicans, and in his Presidency he is going to build a wall so high illegal aliens won't be able to jump over. So......... so far I think one can say he has lost the Latino vote, and the vote of the considerable number of decent Americans who hold John McCain in high esteem.
A word for those who rubbish Fox News, and criticise me for watching it - can I say I don't take on board those who put a spin on the news, and I don't listen to the opinion programmes. I go past that to hear what the person making the news is actually saying....what is coming out of their mouths, not what Fox News claims they are saying.
And on a lighter note..................
This veteran is 110 years old. She must be the oldest person on the planet.
When I was young we grew up believing America was a rich nation, and the people were prosperous, certainly more so than us, so I have a problem getting my head around the fact that children are going to school without essential school supplies and that the Salvation Army have to step in providing these necessities for children.
