booster

I got shot #3 from my pharmacy on Tuesday and so far have nothing but a sore arm.  Do not let it be said that I've not done my part from shots to masking and social distancing.  I went to my surgeon's office this morning and was screened well before they let me in.  He put silver nitrate on the spot that is causing me pain and I have not felt pain like that in a long time.  It still hurts but maybe it was worth the treatment.  I go back in a couple of weeks to see if it did and if not he will remove the lesion in his office under local.  

I'm exploring Medicare supplement options because with the one I have I'm paying 20% on ostomy supplies and everything else with high dolla' co-pays for specialists.  With what I'm spending on ostomy supplies alone, I could buy a better supplement.  It's a learning curve y'all.  

I have talked with two veterans of the Afghan and Iraq wars and asked them their opinions on the withdrawal.  Biden is taking a lot of bashing over that.  Both of these vets said that it's now or never.  The Afghan people have been supported by this country for 20 years and failed to learn how to keep the Taliban at bay without us.  It is what it is.  It breaks my heart to see all these folks lined up at the airport at Kabul with papers intact trying to get on a plane and being blocked by the Taliban.  Sharia law my ass.  Our country is partly at fault for not using out intelligence capabilities to prevent 9/11. These people trained in aviation for five years under our radar.  I see George Bush as a well meaning man who didn't have the strength to fight against the money machine that Halliburton and Cheney set up.  Many Americans were so in shock and pissed off that they wanted to go over there and kick somebody's ass.  I was not one of them.

So, to wrap things up today I give you this.  Nobody is perfect.  Think for yourself.  Respect different opinions and lifestyles. It ain't all about you ^j^
