Monday open thread
Hi all – I’m feeling better today but will still be going to my primary care physician this afternoon for a more thorough exam and diagnosis. I’m at the 8-5 now buried under. Not sure when/if I’ll be back today. In fact, the next couple of days could be light for me here at the blog. Sorry – just got a lot going on.
Please bear with me and I’ll be back when I can to catch up on what’s going on in the news. In the meantime, ya’ll man the fort for me, ok?  
Evening update – 8:20 PM: Just got caught up on some 8-5 work I carried home with me today (since I had to leave early for my appt). Getting ready to eat some din din and get caught up with a couple o’ posts.Â
The appt. went ok – my dr. confirmed it was not a kidney stone, but is going to have an ultrasound on another area to check the size of a cyst that was seen in the CT scan (which was likely the cause of my irritation over the weekend) to see exactly what it consists of and what (if anything) should be done about it. I asked if the type of cyst in question (it’s the size of a plump grape) is one that she’s ever heard was cancerous and she said she had never heard of a case, and even though she was sure one existed somewhere, she assured me it was very very rare. So – the ultrasound is next week and I will have a follow up appt on the ultrasound the following week.
Between my dad, my older sister, and me, it seems like health woes are taking over the family these days. Luckily we have each other and a supportive circle of friends, and a lot of prayers going out out there, which always helps. I try not to complain too much – considering what others go through, mine at this point are very minor in comparison.
Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes. Back in a little bit.

I really feel for you if you have stones. My kidneys used to be like quarries churning out more than a dozen stones in under 10 years. While they send pain through my whole body and make me scream like a girl, they have all been roughly large enough to pass, so I have learned to deal with them. Unfortunately I never know when they will hit or how I will be able to deal with them. In one case I was at work and thankfully passed it in less than an hour. The worst was being in the hall for 6 hours at a New York hospital only to learn that since I didn’t have blood in my urine (I rarely do) that I MUST be a drug seeking addict so the staff treated me like crap. To be honest, I don’t like drugs at all, even when they’re legal. Whatever you do, make sure you have competent, caring people around when a stone comes calling.
Thanks for staying on track, so few of us do that when we’re ill these days.

Feel better, ST. We’ll keep things under control, here.
And for your daily dose of BO (Eww!
), here’s a link to the Prophet Barack comparing US Immigration agents to terrorists.
Just amazing.
Get well soon, ST, and thanks for the Barry O! clip Anthony! Which country’s Presidency is this guy running for, and which laws would he selectively enforce?
Get better Dear. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. – Lorica
We’ll cover. Get well quickly though; I barely have enough material for my own place
If the meds aren’t working, switch to booze. In fact, I’ll have a Bourbon for you right now!
Tell your doctor that if she doesn’t get immediate results she’ll be hearing from me. Sneery’s walking the dogs of the little old widow lady down the road so I don’t have to stick around and keep an eye on my house.
The BBC – Maliki sabotaged by his own staff on “withdrawal” vs “presence” (via Hot Air)
In tonight’s “Are They F***ing Crazy?” segment, the BBC is airing a new miniseries called Bonepickers, supposedly about archeologists. The series drew immediate fire because of a scene in the latest episode that shows a religious fanatic using a sword to behead a non-believer. The BBC claims the series is “based in fact“.
Oh, a few minor details I forgot to mention. The crazed fanatic with the sword is a “far-Right evangelical Christian”. The victim is a “moderate Muslim”. And the attack was unprovoked, of course (as reported here).
Next thing you know some leftist troll will slip on the tinfoil hat and claim it’s really true, and the reason we don’t hear about all the murderous rampages and serial beheadings by bands of people in Jesusland is because the media is biased and covering up the story to help Chimpy McHitlerburton.
Do these leftists have ANY concept of truth, other than it’s whatever they want it to be at the moment?
Sorry to hear about your medical travails, ST. Good wishes coming your way from the Buckeye state, my Sister!
Sorry to hear about your health woes. Get better real quick, darlin’.
I will keep you in my prayers Dear. Just know that you are not alone that even tho we are seperated by miles, we are still one in the Spirit. Please take comfort that we are here Dear. – Lorica
Just get better, Sis. *Hugs!*
Best wishes again. You have a lot of people rooting for you.
