And I really, really hurt. It kind of feels like a gang of assholes wearing steel-toed work boots kicked me in the ribs. Thank God for Percocet!
And from the Dept. of Irony, my insurance card was finally here when I got home tonight.

Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Media Police State The Regime
More White House hypocrisy
The Obama administration is quick to point the finger at foreign regimes that persecute truth-telling journalists, but slow to own up to its own repressive policies. From David Carr: Last Wednesday in the White House briefing room, the administration’s press secretary, Jay Carney, opened on a somber note, citing the deaths of Marie Colvin and Anthony Shadid, two reporters who had died “in order to bring truth” while reporting in Syria. Jake Tapper, the White House correspondent for ABC News, [...]

Hershey bar? No thanks
From CounterPunch: What happened recently at the Hershey candy factory, in Palmyra, Pennsylvania, has to be considered one of the weirdest and most outrageous labor stories of the new year. First the outrageous part. According to a story in the New York Times (February 21), Exel, the logistics company hired by Hershey to oversee its Palmyra operation, was found guilty by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) of intentionally failing to report 42 serious injuries in the plant over a [...]

R.I.P.
Andrew Breitbart, 43. Since this is Andrew Breitbart and a fake news announcement is something we can’t rule out, we’re waiting for confirmation from other sources. Which kind of sums up his legacy. UPDATE: FOx, CNN, TPM, other sources now confirm. Bookmark It

Humor Media The New Depression
Bury the lede, it’s too depressing
Robert Reich started a recent column by looking on the bright side: “Economic cheerleaders on Wall Street and in the White House are taking heart. The US has had three straight months of faster job growth…” He then inched his way down to the real lede of his piece: “The negative wealth effect of home values, combined with declining wages, makes it highly unlikely the US will enjoy a robust recovery any time soon.” Bookmark It

March Photo A Day Challenge
Now, this looks like fun. This is a link to March Photo A Day Challenge. It has a calendar with a daily word for inspiration for a photo. Today’s is “Up.” One doesn’t need a fancy camera, in fact, many just use the camera on their phones. Upload the shots onto your favorite social media. I’ve gotten together with some virtual “social media” friends to share our photographs. It will be nice to share our creativity. Bookmark It

Yay! Welcome home!
Now take a pill and go to bed.

I’m glad you’re home and that gall bladder isn’t.
Now I hope your year (and all of ours) will be a better one than the last.
Enjoy the down time!

Hope your recovery is quicker than that of the economy.

When I was out of the burn center’s ICU and into a regular room, they gave us oxycodone (prob’ly Percocet), and the kept telling us to stay ahead of the pain curve (but they still kept to the max per X hours).
It took me quite awhile to realize that when my pain med was wearing off I first got chilly, then chills I couldn’t control, followed by The Pain. I had thought I should try to take less than prescribed. Do not fall into that thinking!
Stay ahead of the pain, because getting behind takes a lot longer to get back to no pain.
The nurses kept telling us that we should not worry about addiction, becuase when the body was in pain it used the pain killers to avoid that pain. And you will get better.
Best wishes. Stay ahead of the pain so you can sleep and heal.
When I was sent home, I was alone and was so glad I had Glucerna on hand so I could feed myself without having to stand up and fix food.
Have something easy to eat and plenty of liquids.

I’m glad to hear you’re home and feeling better overall. Take it easy. Keep resting.
