What did you do today?

Oh, those Mod cakes are the bomb! I had a friend pick up a dozen for a get-together once. We are all hooked now!

Be a while before I see one. Closest place is over 90 miles away.

Every two weeks.

Wouldn't dialysis do the same thing? I failed the doctor's exam, so just asking an honest question?

No, I don't produce enough blood and I am bleeding internally. Dialysis just cleans your blood.

Well, OK then.

If you are bleeding into your intestines, why aren't the doctors recommending surgery to go in and fix the leak?

Boy, similar to a hole in your crankcase on your daily driver, the mechanics don't fix it by just adding more oil. That seems dumb.

You have insurance, so be your best advocate and demand they fix the problem, not just put a band aid on a gashing wound!

You ain't getting out of this easily just to not be a moderator anymore. I don't want the responsibility!

It’s seems strange that they can’t do anything but a quick google search said surgery is not an option …. Something about a high fiber diet to help, but no real cure hang tough Rusty

Did you hear about the guy in Australia who was the largest blood donor in the world….. He gave like clock work and helped save many lives….. I hope you’re getting Republican blood Rusty

According to some research the chances are good. I copied and pasted a snippet of the results:

Brooks points out that these differences go beyond just what households donate in money. He cites studies showing that conservatives are more likely to do things like donate blood, and to volunteer. Much of this difference he credits to the comparative religiosity of conservatives. The fact that liberals call for government to help others while conservatives feel called to help directly also seems to factor into differences in behavior.

Or, in other words, one group sits on their butts and demand that the government takes care of them, while the other group not only takes care of themselves, but volunteers to help others.

Seems pretty spot on to me.

Rusty, I hope they can come up with a plan to stop the bleeding somehow.

Princess was all agitated last night. Zerged into my bathroom which she never does. Climbed on me shivering like she does during thunderstorms but it wasn't even raining. Didn't want to be under the covers as usual. Kept moving from whatever spot she chose every 2min. Kept me awake bc she would go from leaning up against my back to stomping on my head, to a dog bed in front of my face, to right up against my abdomen and legs, then to my back again, stomp on head, and repeat. Then she wanted to check on Mom twice. Once when Mom was not in bed-- she jumped up on the bed to look and then went to the living room and jumped into her lap for a few minutes. When Mom was sleeping she stood on her hind legs to look at her and then didn't want to leave but also didn't want to stay-- pretending to be a cat I guess-- and finally came back to bed with me and settled down.

Went to Walmart to grab more stuff. I wanted a digital caliper and was going to get one from Harborfreight but found out Walmart had one and its much closer. Same price but different brand. I'm currently under a pile of cats and Princess is sleeping comfortably. My bladder is yelling at me so there are about to be some unhappy cats.

My heart might not make it through surgery. That is why they are testing an experimental shot on me.
