So much to say, Impeachment, deforestation, etc.

Damn..hope you get better soon Cliff.

edit:
I have spoken to him. He's pretty banged up physically. He took a bad fall and broke his humerus bone and has lots of inflammation and pain in his shoulder.
Has some trouble with bp and sodium too. It's going to be a long recovery and rehab tho.

In a hospital?
Not a chance. That's one of his chief complaints. Hurts so much he can't rest, then if he does get enough pain relief he finally does doze off, somone comes in and wakes him for blood, take vitals, to ask if he's ok...you know the drill if you've ever spent much time in a hospital bed. He sounded pretty rough on the phone.

1. Despite popular misconceptions, hospitals are one of the dirtiest places you can be, plus they are filled with sick people.

2. If that isn't motivation enough to get you out of there Cliff, call me again and I'll "encourage" you more

Update..
Cliff is in good spirits and optimistic and says he will hopefully get out of the hospital later today and back where he can use a desktop computer, so you can look for him to be back here at PFF soon enough. A few of you have asked me for his personal contact info but I cannot/will not divulge that but he can if he wants when he gets back on line.
Keep him in your thoughts and prayers. His injury is going to be somewhat debilitating for a while and a big kick in the butt for someone as active as he has always been but hopefully the bone will heal and he be pain free...he's a survivor and he sees it as just another bump in the road of life.

Well that is good news. Has he now learned that just because he dresses like a martian, it doesn't give him the power to fly?

Maybe if he attaches toggles from the Tutu to his toes, he can flare just before he lands.

Thanks all for the thoughts/prayers/comments. They meant a lot. I don't think anyone could have handled calls with everything going on. I am glad I got very few … and some
I ignored. From good people, friends, family.
I will post more later.

Don't pay the ransom, I escaped.

After getting out I was going about my regular medical needs with my personal provider. We opted for a chest x-ray and I had both appointments done by 10:00 AM. The wife gets home at lunch and said she got a call to take me to the emergency room.

Straight to ICU and isolation in a negative pressure quarantine room. They suspected pneumonia, tuberculosis, cancer, something other. Tuberculosis testing, done by the CDC (swamped by the Coronavirus), took awhile.

I was transferred from a pretty capable hospital to a San Antonio hospital.

I had CAT scans, a MRI, and x-rays. They did a Broncostophy. They determined pneumonia, ... plus, . I have never had pneumonia and think it was caused by my first hospital stay. The pneumonia negatively affects my body's sodium level and mine was dangerously too low.

Just as I was getting stable enough to go home, they are doing my vitals just like they have done every four hours for three weeks. All of a sudden my heart is in ? a-fib ? 144 pulse rate. I have never had a heart problem in my life.
Rapid Response to ICU cardiac.

To top it off, my broken Humerous bone did not fuse back together. It needs surgery which had to wait for all my other ills.

Three weeks in the hospital. One might think I was on the cusp of death. I felt fine the whole time and before I entered the hospital.

2020 did not start as I had hoped. The rest of the year is up to me.

If Cliff wants to engage in a mindfulness exercise, he could focus his awareness on the concept of the Planck length-scale tetrahedron that's been imagined (by some) as the first structured manifestation of space, at the beginning of time. The smallest volume of three dimensional space that could ever exist. The space within a tetrahedron defined by four vertices (points) that are all equidistant from one another, and separated by the distance of a single Planck length: the smallest or shortest distance between a starting point and an end point that could ever exist. In other words, a regular tetrahedron that is the union of four Planck length-scale equilateral triangles.

CLICK FOR FULL SIZE


First, he'd have to remember that I was priming him on that concept, quite some time ago. For whatever reason. Maybe just a diversion from some other conversation that was going on here.

Crossed fingers are an atheist's prayer.

I hope things get better for Cliff, and soon.

I have always felt the same as I have my whole life. Other than the pain from the broken arm and hospital restrictions and constant bed 'piloting'.

I will be fine. My outlook on life's priorities are changing. Nothing new.

Meh, ... my own personal Covid 19 reality.

The "Planck-hedron"..? (The Planck length scale regular tetrahedron.)

I thought someone had asked me, the other day, to describe a Planck length using a human perspective. Then I realized that was just the recollection of a dream that I seemed to have experienced. Nevertheless, if there were a magnifying lens of such power that it could magnify the width of a typical human hair (about 0.1 mm, as small a resolution of size or distance that there is for a typical human's vision) to the distance that spans the entire observable universe, then a distance of one Planck length would be correspondingly magnified to resemble a distance of 0.1 mm... "the width of a human hair."

Thanks Rick. My misfortunes are embarrassing to mention in this real world. So many more with so much more to bear.

Yes, no, maybe so. I believe in God but am not one to Bible thump. However I prefer to think I am insured by God (not just medically). My wife has worked for the State of Texas for 20+ years and they have a good program.
My issues are not without pocket expenses.

Yes, I absolutely feel like a cash cow. Before I broke my arm I only had to see a Dr for physicals and the occasional thing. Now I have a heart Dr, a lung Dr, a kidney Dr, a bone surgeon, plus my regular care provider. They all want to see me. Dare I tell one "no" ?

Well, I am mortal but life better pack a lunch.

That said, I am my own worst enemy. Truth be told, neither time was I released upon the hospital's opinion. The first time I just shut down co-operation. I wanted out of there. I think I screwed up the follow up.
This time while hospitalized, I told a Dr "this ain't living". He said "we have to keep you alive". The next day I told him I would rather die out of the hospital, living, than live in the hospital, breathing.

We shall see. The hospital is always there.
