GOD REBUKES SUPREME COURT OVER THE EXECUTION OF CHRISTA PIKE

Most people who follow the news know the Supreme Court voided an order staying her execution which had earlier been issued by the 6th federal court of appeals.  The state agreed there was new evidence which may have mitigated the justification for the death penalty.  The state fully understood their actions would stop the execution.  But the Supreme Court did not buy.

After two failed attempts at lethal injection, Christa Pike was rushed to the hospital for life saving treatment.

GOD 1, Supreme Court 0.

No one is above GOD's justice, even the US Supreme Court

 

THINGS ARE BETTER BUT NOT REAL GREAT

On Tuesday morning had I been living in San Antonio, I would have gone to the ER. Again I woke up soaked with my sheets also soaked.  I have a very expensive mattress cover so the mattress is fine.

When I tried to get out of bed it was a challenge to move my legs and body.  I put one foot on the floor and realized I would not be able to stand.

I waited about two ours and with slippers on I could wobble to the bathroom.  I could not stand up straight, the pain was too intense.

The latter concerns me because during the partial proctectomy the urologist told me there appears to be problems in my bladder from long term retention. This is consistent with bladder problems.  So maybe the leakage is the bladder and not the normal pressure hydrocephalus. 

The fact I am typing this morning tells you I am doing better.  I though I was doing better on Monday, so I went to bingo on Monday.  The person I was with saw how I struggled to get to the back of the hall to buy my tickets.  He also notice I did not buy my traditional tostada.  I could not stand on that line.

So when I won, the person I was with had to collect the $150.00 prize.  Maybe sitting all night on a hard chair messed with my bladder.

I think I will get three things done before leaving for the post office, Leslies's pools, and then to the vet so Sam's annual.

 MY UPDATE IS NOT GOOD

I am too weak to do anything. I need to get to San Antonio to see my brain surgeon.  The valve setting has me completely bedridden. It is as if I never had the surgery.  A sign you have NPH is urine leakage.  I am passing 100-120 ounces of urine a day.  Normal is 50 ounces.

I wear pull ups.  I put a dry one on at bedtime and wake up soaked.  The 30+ rating means the pull up will hold up too 30-35 ounces. 

I am very frustrated because my doctor's NP verified, they are familiar that my model of shunt and year is failing on a regular basis. 

It was a year ago July I learned something was wrong.  TSA in Brownsville asked me if I had any implants.  I said yes and he said in the future we need permission from your doctor to pass you through security. On the return from NY, the same thing. Then in December and also last April the same thing.

The manufacture knows the shunts are failing when I go through security.

The latest is, in terms of courthouse, they are recommending not passing through security, put the wand can be passed up op my armpits.

CT scans are a no, unless your setting can be checked.  This is not an option in South Texas.

I am bedridden

I need to go to Walmart.  Finding someone to drive me is easy.  I cannot get out without an electric wheelchair. 

I have confronted parents over their children driving them around. 

Walmart needs to make sure the person using the electric wheelchair qualifies.  I am grateful for the service, but it is of no value to me if the chairs are not available.

THE PAIN HAS SUBSIDED 

    

On Monday my doctor called me and told me to be in his office first thing Tuesday.  There is a problem with my bladder.  It is my bladder and not caused by the surgery. 

The bladder was spasming from the catheter.   That was the pain.  I did very well, exceptionally well, after the catheter was removed.

I was prepared for leakage, and more bleeding.   I experienced neither. I have no reason to wear pullups. 

There is mild discomfort, but very tolerable.

I can tell you, I am having none, save one of the problems you are told you will have post-surgery for maybe 3 months. The best surgeon in the world cannot avoid the one problem I am having.  Once the surgical swelling goes down in my prostate, everything will be back to normal.

I am on the high-end of functional. I was on the very high-end of functional before the surgery. A key benefit has been to the pelvic floor.  An inflamed prostate can cause problems with the pelvic floor.  With half the prostate gone, I can see real improvement on that issue, and I like it.

 THE REAL PROBLEM IS THE SURGEON NOT PAYING ATTENTION

We need stronger regulation of these in office procedures. There were real problems during the procedure because of a lack of regulation.  The consequence was me suffering needlessly.  When the neurological block on the prostate failed, he was to redo it, or to sedate me.  Doctors strongly disfavor in patient sedation in their offices.  We see this also with sinus surgery.  

As I have said, I strongly disfavor medical malpractice.  But what is happening with the expansion of in office procedures, we have no oversight over the doctor.  There is a lot of money being made with these procedures.

Based on everything I know I think it was 100% successful.  I do not want to discourage use of this product.  But I need to know the manufacture and doctors are going to create meaningful protocols and follow them.

I need my specialist for two reasons.  Based on what he saw he can justify the advanced testing on my bladder. If the excessive scaring is verified, he can address it.  The scaring begins when the bladder cannot properly empty because of the prostate.  The procedure can make the scaring worse.  It is no one's fault.  It is to diagnose it, and do the repair.

There is also a procedure to widen the urethra and the sphincter going into the bladder.  This needs to be done as part of my long term care.

I AM BURIED IN WORK

 

 

 THE ESSENTIAL WORKERS JOHN COWEN AND THE ENTIRE CITY COMMISSION, AND EDDIE TREVINO AND THE ENTIRE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS COURT HAVE NOTHING BUT CONTEMPT FOR

The people will not forget they Trump loving anti-immigrant elected officials.

 

THE PAIN IS MORE THAN I COULD HAVE EVER IMAGINED

I scream out crying every time I have to pee. I will be doing an online review with REZUM telling people to not do this procedure.  

REZUM DOES NOT PUBLISH THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS

One man claims he went to work the next day.  I do not know how you go to work with a catheter which requires emptying every 90 minutes. He claims the catheter was removed after 3 days and he was fine.

If he is telling the truth, then my experience was an example of extreme failure and malpractice. 

I am waiting on my doctors answering service to get ahold of him.  I cannot continue screaming in horrific pain.  Also, the catheter is clearly pulling out.

 

WHEN YOU HOPE YOUR WATER POLICY WILL JUST HAPPEN

From 76-80 we drove from El Paso many times to jump off the cliffs. This was a magnificent body of water.   But because the universities were not addressing city planning as part of their master's in public administration, water policy has been ignored for decades.  On this issue I give UTEP an "F" for its Master's in Public Administration program.  It was a horrible problem.  They needed at least on masters in the political science program which the state would support, so they took the default program.

Since before Tony Martinez ran, I was calling on a water policy.  Tony having no idea what a water policy is said we could conserve.  Conservation does not work.

IT PISSES ME OFF HOW EASYILY SO MANY PEOPLE WERE TAKEN IN BY THE FALSE NARRATIVE THAT ELON MUSK WAS GOING TO BUILD A DATA CENTER ON THE 444 ACRES ADJACENT TO THE PORT

The real evidence was there.  He needs the area as a staging area for the 30 or so daily rockets he will eventually need to ship to Star Base Louisiana from the manufacturing facility at Star Base Brownsville.

Brownsville did not own the land. For simply giving up zoning control over the land Brownsville got $220 million dollars for water.  What should concern people is Brownsville anticipates missing key deadlines to move the water project forward they built in endless restart options to avoid default.

The good news is, Elon Musk recognizes local social media for what it is, worthless.  But Elon Musk in his arrogance gets an "F" on the PR side. He could have clarified this early on.  But sometimes when dealing in land speculation you must hide your cards.  he has to buy this land from the landowners.  He cannot use his business model to force the owners to sell. 

SOMEONE TELL ME

Would Brownsville have looked better had the city kept the land and then zoned it exactly as Elon Musk want, while taking the $220 million, or was its smarter for the city to give up the zoning rights in exchange for the $220 million water project?

John Cowen is so corrupt he could not see how the city got a really good deal.  He hid from a truth.  He believed the truth would make him look weak.  The truth shows Brownsville got a good deal on the water, and Brownsville and Cameron County got a good deal on economic development.

THE STORY WHICH SOCIAL MEDIA IS IGNORING IS THE IMPACT ALL OF THIS WILL HAVE THE PEOPLE ON FIXED INCOME

As this was happening in Austin fixed income seniors were forced to leave the city.  The additional property taxes and inflation forced them to move 200 plus miles from their doctors and support system. We need to address this problem.  Brownsville has no one on staff who understands city planning.  

Everyone needs to study Daniel Cavasos OPED piece on this matter.
