RECOVERING FROM EMEGENCY PROCEDURE TO CONTROL TWO SUBDURAL HEMATOMAS

This will cost Mayor John Cowen and City Attorney Will Treviño

Some history: I have a brain shunt to drain cerebral fluid from the ventricle. It was placed 7 years ago last April.

This is the second time it has failed.  My regular readers will remember I had to go to San Antonio last December for an adjustment to the internal valve.  It is not a big deal.  They use a form of ultrasound.

In December the valve sua sponte changed from 70, to 40.  This means the ventricle started to empty, which can cause a stroke.  My care was delayed because adult probation in Cameron County refused to change the date of an appointment. I am still working on getting that suit done.

This time for months problems got worse and worse until the point I could not function.  If you are not protected, judges have zero empathy for sick parties.  While in court with judge Terrell, he saw me dehydrating and told the lawyers to find water for me.  It is chronic.  It is so bad, on Wednesday and then Thursday it took 4 nurses to draw blood using an ultrasound to locate a vein.  Even then it was very difficult. 

The symptoms reached a critical level, and I went to Valley Regional ER.  The ER doctor gets an A+.  He may have saved my life by insisting I get to my brain surgeon in San Antonio. There were a variety of factors to include a CT scan showing two subdural hematoma.  There was also evidence of ischemic activity.  

This is where the problem develops. It is called Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus.  Key "Normal Pressure."  I was diagnosed in 1984.  At the time the DFW area had only 3 MRI's.  I had what today would be called a TIA.  The two neurosurgeons assigned to me could not agree on what they saw in the CT Scan.  I was sent for an MRI which did not show much more.  I eventually saw the head of neurosurgery at the VA Dallas, and he said there were so few MRI pictures of the brain it was best to just monitor it.

It does not manifest itself as pressure in any normal sense.  This is why doctors dismiss the finding.  The condition is so rare, few doctors have any experience with it.  The ER doctor in Brownsville saw I had the three W's.  It is a way of diagnosing NPH.  But then the CT scan showed the hematomas.  The mere presence of hematoma is enough for emergency care.

Even when I got to San Antonio, the ER doctor did not want to verify the CT finding of hematoma.  The on-call brain surgeon ordered the CT and found the hematomas.  

Another problem is, radiologists are not trained to read the lateral head scan which shows the value.  I can teach anyone in under a minute.  The radiologist does not even know they are to compare the official setting to the setting seen in the x-ray.  Again, this is so rare, I am willing to bet most ER doctors never see NPH or a failure in the valve. After the lateral head shot was done in Brownsville, they allowed me to see it.  The tech got it right the very first time.  It was picture perfect.  But I was the only one able to read it.  It showed a setting of 60, when it should have been at 90.  This meant again the valve was draining too much cerebral fluid, shrinking the ventricle.

THIS FINDING EXPLAINED THE SUBDURAL HEMATOMA

The ventricle this time shrunk so much that it pulled aware from the skull.  This in turn caused the two subdural hematomas.  With there being evidence of some ischemia, I could have gone into a full-fledged stroke.  

THE TREATMENT WAS NOT COMPLEX

The treatment meant putting pressure on both subdural hematoma.  The surgeon changed the value setting from 60 to 150.  This means in about two weeks the ventricle will fill enough to allow it to put pressure on the hematomas.  The increased pressure will do two things.  It will prevent the hematoma's from getting bigger, and then through compression drain them. If they were larger, they would drain them through the skull.

This 150 setting is so intense I am to expect intense headaches.  But this is the best way to drain the hematomas through intense pressure.  In three weeks if the CT scan shows improvement, then they will reduce the pressure setting from 150, to maybe 130. 

MY REALITY

Not because of any individual reason related to Brownsville, there is no healthcare related to my situation which is available in Brownsville.  There are so few of us, I can imagine ER doctors going their entire career and never treating anyone with NPH, or post-surgical issues. 

Once you have a shunt, you have to have access to your surgeon.  My surgeon relies on local care to inform them of a problem.  This is not working.  I know I need to be in San Antonio, or Long Island.  As to the latter I am holding on two rental properties on Long Island so I can be close to a brain surgeon at the VA. A two-bedroom one bath duplex is $2750 a month.  I can afford the rent.  Once I am done with this lawsuit, I am gone.  Believe or not a mortgage on a house my size is about $6500 a month. One home because of its location on the North Shore of LI, has a mortgage of $12,000.  It is the same size as my home. 

SO, THE SCUMBAG JUDGE IN THE CITY CASE

He is very mad that I have doctor appointments.  In anticipation of yesterday's hearing, I cancelled two appointments.  They were important but not more important than appearing in court.  I am more than willing to reschedule appointments.  In fact, the one which only addresses how I am doing on a medicine which helps with my hypothalamic dysfunction, the nurse called me and asked the same questions the doctor would ask.  I am doing great on the medication.  So, I was rescheduled to November.

A side note, the NPH caused the damage to the hypothalamus.  40 plus years of doctors not knowing what to do resulted in significant damage to my hypothalamus. 

The VA based on my symptoms recommended I go to the ER.  The VA has no ER treatment.  Even if your doctor refers you for a CT scan, if it is an emergency you are sent to the hospital.  

So, I went to Valley Regional.  The ER doctor is the best (tied) ER doctor I have seen in Brownsville in nearly 21 years.  He took the cautious side and may have saved my life.  By all accounts when there are two subdural hematomas are visible in a CT Scan, you need emergency care from your brain surgeon.

I filed the medical records to include the CT Scan and referral for emergency care to San Antonio.  I asked for a continuance.  You do not play games with subdural hematomas.

The judge through his actions actually denied the request for a continuance, and without notice and opportunity to respond just started in anger to rule on motions.

The order is so bizarre he states I complained he had not ruled on the city's plea to the jurisdiction. he then granted the city's plea to the jurisdiction.  I have a mandamus and a federal TRO pending on judge Mark Woerner refusing to rule on my Plea to the Jurisdiction.

He then went on to deny the existence of the order he signed barring zoom hearings.  It called my claims to be fictitious. 

JOHN COWEN AND WILL TREVINO ARE PRICKS

I am as confident as the day is long, the Texas Supreme Court will void Judge Woerner's order which in effect denied a continuance based on a medical emergency.  The emergency was justified based on the emergency treatment I received.  I have the record.

Also based on everything I have learned the state will sanction Omar Ochoa for claiming code enforcement is discretionary.   Heather Scott counsel for the city has sealed Omar Ochoa's fate.

We are talking about the city enforcing the code, the same code against Texas Lone Star which the state of Texas sanctioned to the tune of $11,250.00.  This is all the city had to agree to avoid what has to be at this point well over $50,000 in attorney's fees. 

Compliance with the code is not discretionary. but John Cowen is a vindictive prick and will damage the reputation of Brownsville to avoid having to enforce the code.   If it were discretionary the state could not have sanctioned Texas Lone Star to the tune of $11,250.00.

 

HYATT SUITES ON BOCA CHICA - 2027

This is a major win for Brownsville.  It is located on the North Side of Boca Chica between 4 Corners and Billy Mitchel.  It seems to be poised to serve SpaceX, the Port and the airport.

I do not understand how Brownsville cannot seem to get Breeze to extend service between San Antonio and Brownsville.  Breeze can use Brownsville as a connection between San Antonio and Orlando.  It can serve the medical tourism between the LRGV and San Antonio.

There is also Jet Blue which can connect Brownsville to San Antonio and Monterey. Flights between Brownsville and Monterey will connect Brownsville to most of Mexico.  Then going north, San Antonio will connect Brownsville to all the connections from San Antonio to the rest of the US.

FORMER JUDGE ROBERT GARZA NEEDS TO BE REMOVED AS A VISTING JUDGE.  HE IS AN ALL TOO WILLING PLAYER WITH CITY ATTORNEY WILL TREVINO STRATEGY TO MANIPULATE JUSTICE 

 

This is fact, Will Trevino in the bar cases objected to Judge Garza being the judge.   Now Will Trevino wants Garza as the judge in my case against the city and Omar Ochoa. Yes the same city and Omar Ochoa.  I filed a proper objection of right and Robert Garza is refusing to stand down, as he did in the bar cases.  He will now face a recusal. 

I am filing a motion to recuse him based on Jackson Walkers third attempt to avoid the ADA order of protection in my favor.  Former Chief Justice Nathan Hecht is now a partner at Jackson Walker which affords Jackson Walker and all its clients all the protection they need.

Anyone who thinks I will not add Nathan Hecht to the now near ready federal lawsuit, is sadly mistaken.

More in the AM.

Garza and I shared the same chiropractor.  I stopped my treatment one day when I heard him through the door asking someone if they knew who I was.  At the time, and not for long he is the judge in the Sorola case. 

There is more in the AM.  But I am going back to the Texas Supreme Court one last time, and then to the federal court of appeals to stop these people.

This is not complex.  The city, FTL and Texas Lone Star are parties to the federal appeal. They have nothing but contempt for the federal bench.  

Their remedy is simple. When I file my appellate brief, they respond by challenging the jurisdiction of the court.  If the court of appeals agrees with them it proceeds in state court.  This is basic, unless you believe the Texas Supreme Court will obstruct justice for you, so you ask the Texas Supreme Court to protect you from the federal court. 

Robert Garza's action towards me is file and explains his criminal DWI history and why he was forced from the bench into becoming a visiting judge. He is too stupid to understand Chris Mugica's attempt yesterday for the third time to bypass the ADA order, was really an attempt to throw Judge Garza under the bus.

Will reedit in the morning. 

 

THIS IS SO TRUE

 

LETTUCE RECALL TARGETS WALMART PRODUCT

• Date of Recall: July 17, 2026

• Products Affected: Marketside Iceberg Salad and Marketside Shredded Iceberg Lettuce

It seems if you can prove your lettuce is one of the above products you can take it back to Walmart.

It is funny last week I went to Whataburger and they asked me if I wanted lettuce on my chicken sandwich.

This is what happens when you fire inspectors.  But this is what MAGA wants.

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR THE 107TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, FRANK LOZANO, NEEDS TO GET IN ABBOTT'S EAR NOW, WITH THE STRONG POSSIBILITY BEN EURESTI WILL RESIGN FOR HIS PART IN THE JOHN DOE CASE

Ben Euresti's transfer of the John Doe case was a deliberate criminal act.  I will stand by my conclusion.  The case did not qualify for transfer under Texas law. 

If Ben Euresti forces the Commission on Judicial Conduct to remove him, he will lose visiting judge privileges.  It will be a very sad end to his career.  If the DOJ indicts him, he could lose his liberty and retirement.

Noe Garza has stood very tight with Luis Saenz.  Noe Garza will never stand up for justice.  It is not in him.  Abbotts's office can force Ben Eurusti to resign and then make Frank Lozano the incumbent come November. 

Gabby Garcia's removal is a formality.  She is not smart enough to understand that by resigning, she might be able to avoid a criminal indictment.  It would be a mistake for Abbott to appoint a Republican already on the ballot in another judicial race. 

This nightmare and the inevitable petition to remove Saenz's will kill every democrat on the ballot come November.  I predict the Republicans will have a clean sweep come November.  

Greg Abbott needs to find another well qualified Republican candidate to replace Gabby Garcia.  The Republicans already on the ballot will win, once Ben Euresti and Gabby Garcia are removed the Republicans will sweep Cameron County elections.

The pieces are all in place. 

 

A RECKLESS ATTACK BY SOCIAL MEDIA

Social media in Cameron County is as worthless as mainstream media. The arrack on Maribel was vile and shows the desperation of social media.

Public Relations people rarely have a degree in anything but public relations.  The childish argument she needs a degree in engineering reflects a policy of attack, attack regardless of merit.

As the PR person for the engineering department her job is to get out messaging about engineering department.  She has no authority to control the policy, and the reckless implication otherwise by social media speaks to why people do not trust social media,

My numbers are way up.  I believe it is because I use original documents and not generate attack memes.

The attackers need to tell us how things would be different if Maribel were an engineer.  They will not. Her job is to fashion a press release based the actual work of the engineers.  Her job is not to correct anything put out by the engineering department.
