Today is a mess. My stump swelled, and I can't wear George. That means I’m mostly helpless, and have to set up the new chair. This may take a couple days, Hugs!

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Ouch. The swelling worries me. Do you have a medical professional coming by chance?
In Sojourners, Jim Wallis quotes Bryan Stevenson: "Slavery never ended. It just evolved."
Yes, and in "The New Jim Crow, Mass incarceration in the Age of Colorblinfdness," Michelle Alexander makes essentially the same arguement, and resents considerable evidence to back up the claim.
Obviously that should be "presents."
Drat….hope this all works out for you, TC – enough already, right? Sending be wells and healing energy!
TC: The swelling most likely occurred because your leg is still fresh and tender from the operation. You may have been using George a bit too much. Consult with your professional health care nurse or your doc.
Sojourners: "Slavery never ended. It just evolved." Yes, it evolved into an illegal multibillion dollar enterprise worldwide including in the USA.
Cartoon: Ain't that the truth. GOP/TP would love to repeal it and make slavery legal.
Sorry to hear about the swelling. Take it easy for a while but keep up with your therapy.
Sending prayers, hugs and healing vibes.
Please consult a health professional about the swelling, TomCat. It may be no more than overexertion, but better to be safe than sorry. Take it easy, won't you!
Puddy Tat, I echo the others about seeking professional help. Perhaps it is a result of your earlier fall, aggravated by walking with George since then. I hope there is someone close that you can call to assist you with needed tasks. Good thing you caught that koi!
JD, thanks for the link. Very interesting. It occurs to me that this also applies to our relationship with Aboriginal peoples too. Looks like a very good read.
Cartoon — Wouldn't they though!
You are so welcome.
Oh, I do hope that the swelling goes down, get with your Doctor or Home Health nurse on that.
Take good care, TC. You're in my prayers.
Is it safe to assume you're wearing your shriker when you're not wearing George? (At least I suspect that's what they instructed.)
I echo the previous posts. So sorry you are having so many upsets, and please do call your medical advisor.
Cartoon: The GOP is doing everything it can to bring back slavery.
Shrink and elevate. Thanks all. Hugs!
I'm for repeating any laws that allow Republicans to vote or have power in our country
Hope the shrink and solutions to swelling work well for you.
Oh, TC! That sounds like it is very PAINFUL!!! George is not fitting right!! Dang it!! Hope the swelling goes down before the holidays!!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS, TC!
