This just isn’t my week. WWWendy changed my Fentanyl patch to 100 mcg Yesterday afternoon, and it kicked in around Midnight, but it’s already disaster time again. I have not Republicated since I was in the hospital Friday, so my OIC is back and severe. Starting Saturday, I’ve been taking a 200 mg Docusate Sodium and a double dose of Dulcolax morning and evening and a dose od MIRAlax at noon. I did squeeze out a tiny bit this morning. Trying to push produced a tiny bit (1 tbsp.) of soft poo, but the pushing shot my pain level to 10 until I stopped pushing. I’ll call Providence Doctor at Home when they open to see if they can come give me a shot of Resistor. Yesterday I was in so much pain I didn’t know what day it was. Today, Republicans are waging an insurrection against my bowels. I hope your hump day is better than mine. ARGH!

Yesterday I said I expected to be back in the saddle today. These are the circumstances I did not foresee. When WWWendy went to the hospital Oncology Center to pick up my patches and pills, there was nobody there. It was closed due to the ice blizzard. I have a few pills left, but I now have a 25 mg patch on instead of the 100 mg I’m supposed to have. I need to go back to bed, because being up makes the pain worse. We hope WWWendy can get them today. If so, I should be back tomorrow. May your Hump Day be as Happy as mine is Crappy!

This is not a full Open Thread, but it’s more than a Personal Update. It’s a busy day, because I have to completely reorganize my diet, given the new set of problems I’m facing. The snow storm has degenerated into an ice storm. TriMet has suspended all all bus, train, and lift service. Please, let me wish you all a Happy Valentines Day with love and gratitude to each of you. Tomorrow is a WWWendy Morning, so please expect no more than a Personal Update. from me. Sunday Hugs with

From Me: Here are my thoughts on the Senate trial and treason by all but seven Republican Senators. Many on the left are very upset with Democrats’ decision not to call witnesses, and are accusing those Democrats of selling out the country for their Valentines recess. That’s hogwash! If they had decided to call witnesses, Republicans would have used it as an excuse to depose hundreds of witnesses and tie the Senate’s hands for months preventing any work on confirmations, GOP plague relief, saving the earth, human rights, and all the other things Democrats need to get done to prove to the American people that they made the right decision to elect Democrats in the last election. In the end, all but seven Republicans would have voted in favor of treason anyway.
Many Republicans now say that Trump** was guilty as hell, but alas, their hands were tied, because they could not impeach someone who was no in office. I won’t post video, but that was exactly the reason that filthy bastard, Bought Bitch Bullshit Traitor Mitch, said he had to vote to acquit. However, the only reason the trial did not take place, while Trump** was in office is that Bought Bitch Bullshit Traitor Mitch was Majority Leader until Trump** left office and prevented the trial from taking place then.
Finally, as much as we hoped for a different outcome, we never expected to win this one. Our job just isn’t done yet. As long as the RNP exists, America will be in grave danger. RESIST the Republican Reich!!

Yesterday I could not go to the bathroom, and the pain was so bad that I went to the ER in an Ambulance. WWWendy was here, but the snow was too deep for my power chair to get to get car door. They gave me a CT Scan. It showed two things. First I has severe Opioid Induced Constipation. They gave me a shot in the belly and about an hour later I Republicated all over everything. Then I wad to wait in one of those horrid ER beds from 2:00 PM until midnight for a medical transport company to tale me home. Portland is shut down. I’ve lived here since 1979 and this is the worst blizzard I’ve seen. In addition, the scan showed that my tumors are all considerably worse, so it’s apparenty that the infusions are not working. I’ll be contacting My oncological team next week. I’m going back to bed. I’ll be back in the saddle when I can.

It’s a busy day here in the CatBox. Store to Door is delivering groceries, and I have to unpack and put them away. Tomorrow my hospital appointment is later than normal, so Wendy will be here first thing in the morning to give me my shower. Then I dress, and we head to the hospital in the blizzard. I hope to return mid to late afternoon, at which time, I’ll be completely exhausted. Portland is under a Winter Storm Warning with 10″ or more of snow forecast to accumulate between now and Saturday afternoon. Tomorrow expect only a brief Personal Update. I’ll try to add a home safe comment when I return. Have a great day.

From Alternet: As other networks airing Donald Trump’s Senate impeachment trial on Wednesday showed chilling new video footage of the deadly January 6 mob attack on the U.S. Capitol incited by the former president, Fox News opted to cut away to cover different stories.
