Facing ETERNITY

[leVieux]

I know 3. Me, my cousin, and a guy I worked with back in my pipeline days. I know quite a few others that are now pushing up daisies.

When I went into the ER with excruciating pain, the staff immediately jumped to the conclusion that it was gall stones. They told me to go see a gastro doc. I didn't because my wife ended up in the hospital and I had to deal with that for a month or so. Next time in the ER, they again said it was gall stones and sent me for an ultrasound. The young lady was brand spanking new at running the ultrasound and this was her first day working "solo". She poked around, got confused, left the room and brought someone in to help her. They sent me for a CT scan. I was sitting in the little room in the ER when 5 of the staff came in looking like someone killed their pet kitten. The doctor said, "Your gall bladder is fine. We found a tumor in your pancreas." I held up my hand to make him shut up, so that he wouldn't say any details in front of my wife. I said, "We both know the statistics. What's my next step?" That's when they turned me over to M.D. Anderson. I probably owe my life to that young technician who looked for gall stones in the wrong place.

One of the dead people I mentioned was diagnosed as having gall stones. He was on the table for laparoscopic surgery. They fired up whatever scanner they use to see inside you when they do that surgery and realized he had PC. They stopped the procedure and went out and told his wife. He didn't handle the whole thing well and had a miserable death, making his family miserable along the way. There but for the Grace of God......

You give a great example of why we are so insistent on not doing “single organ” exam studies.

The insurance companies want to pay only for minimums.

The standard every place I’ve worked or taught is to include the entire hepatobiliary system, pancreas, adrenals, & regional retroperitoneum on all requested “Gall Bladder Ultrasound” exams. The pericardium & pleura are also briefly checked.

Our U/S Techs have become so good that it is rare for someone like me to actually have to perform the studies.

leVieux, I just happened to catch a video today that discussed the survival rates for the most common pancreatic cancers. If the tumor is operable and isolated, the survival rate is about 25%. If it's metastatic (spread to other organs), the survival rate is about 8%. The total percentage of people killed by pancreatic cancer is much higher, as it often goes undiagnosed until it's too late to do anything. Also, many people - given the odds - elect to avoid treatment.

10 yrs = first wife
40yrs = 2nd wife

She's a keeper!

Now if I could just find another dog!!! (canine buddy, poochie; we lost both our dogs recently)

Original Poster,

WHY does your wife 'nag' you?

Did you ASK her why she nags you and that she should STOP DOING IT?!

Do you nag her?

Do BOTH of you have selective hearing?

Yes, currently.

But, being OLD, I go back before CT, MRI, & U/S; when they were only diagnosed late, or by accident in surgery for something else. Today, using MRI, sub-centimeter tumors can sometimes be identified.

The earlier, the better for survival.

There are those who aren't very interested in continuing above ground if they are progressively aging (I hate that word, but it applies) in pain of all kinds, especially joint pain, cancer pain, etc. Plus, your skin looks like something out of a horror movie as it's gotten corrugated and ugly...

When for decades your body was a Ferrari and is now a broken down old jalopy. What a fine kettle of fish that is...

Do these aged people really want to continue with multiple doctor visits, surgeries, recovery after recovery and endless physical therapies?

To what end?

To continue to just exist when one day no matter what extends life, you're still going to go 'Ka-Put' no matter what?

Maybe, just maybe, assisted suicide is for them.

Just a thought...

PS, none of the above applies to me, as I'm going to live forever!

I despise Schwab, too.

BUT,

”Thalidomide” was the seminal FDA “victory” which empowered them to be so abusive ever since. The FDA refused to approve Thalidomide, and have gloated in that success to this day. The Americans who were injured by Thalidomide were prscribed that drug by well-meaning German Physicians, who were not under FDA control.

FDA has certainly done sufficient evil deeds since to blame them for !

”Thalidomide” is still (vewy, vewy quietly) still in use.

It and Prednisone are used to battle Erythema nodosum leprosum (ENL) for leprosy patients.

This is a severe reaction of a build up of dead bacterium in the body that are 'not' leaving quickly enough.

Yes, it still has it's uses, but much on the QT...bad PR doncha know...

Thalidomide was notorious for deforming the fetuses in early pregnancies, some in women who didn’t yet realize that they were PG.

It caused a condition known as congenital phocomelia, in which the babies had only very rudimentary, or even absent, arms & legs.

It was withheld by the FDA for both USA & our Military, to their credit.

Sadly, their success was then used to justify all sorts of other, less-reasonable restrictions, which have injured many.

Today’s FDA has long been a bureaucratic agency completely out of control.

Hello,

What you wrote is true!

I can remember on some old, old boards where YOU and I agreed on what was REALLY going on behind the scenes.

I used to write, "Follow the money, follow the money and connect the dots and see WHO REALLY BENEFITS from whatever was proposed or already happened, etc."

Now, if you quote CLAIRE WOLFE, L NEIL SMITH or the FOUNDING FATHERS = some people consider you subversive or a nut job! Oh well.

I can remember from the late 90's and on 'online' but maybe RIGHT BEFORE (?) I knew you at the time that many people just laughed or scoffed at my comments.

And I was NOT into AJ or even knew jack squat about him.
I am still NOT into AJ and I consider him and many others - controlled opposition.

With that said, a person who always paid attention to details and was into 'politics', history, geography, etc. as I was even at 12 years old - many of us INCLUDING you knew a LOT OF THE DETAILS and history when it came to such matters.

But when you, other people or I wrote/write about some things or OLD books or FALSE or TRUE history... some people still don't GET IT.

Example: Some 'false flag events'.

Television = TELL A VISION

They don't call it programming for NO reason!

Plus when a person actually pays attention to townhalls for ALL candidates, listens to LONG TESTIMONIES if they have the time to do this - entire ones and not just snippets or sound bites, looks at ALL SIDES and news, pays attention and not just to the manipulated stock market or precious metals salami but actual working wages - self employed or NOT, inflation, DEBT - NATIONAL DEBT, the WEF, and tons more... well, some of us do GET IT and what both parties and all others have done to just plain screw the MIDDLE CLASS - working or retired.

And even my Montana husband sees it and has for the LAST 20 TO 30 YEARS in this county and town PLUS at the STATE LEVEL. He saw it BEFORE THAT TIME but in the last 20 plus years - it has gotten so much worse.

Soon there will be rich and poor.

The REAL ESTATE TAXES and the salami with the Rs at the capitol have effed us up. THROW in TONS OF BS from the Ds in college towns, small towns and even some rural areas.

There is GOOD man who is a R and he is not my representative and the POWERS THAT BE in the OLD BOYS CLUB - Rs want to get rid of him and put in a new man. TOO much to say there.

That GOOD MAN is a fiscal conservative and NOT a whack job. HE IS NOT AN @@@ KISSER or RING KISSER TO ANY PAST OR PRESENT LEADER in the R party or to any other party TOO.

HE ACTUALLY CAME FROM A POOR to middle class BACKGROUND and HE was a businessman. NOT big money and no trust fund baby.

BUT BECAUSE HE STANDS UP for the working man, INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY, ranchers/farmers AND many small business owners - they want to keep him in HIS PLACE.

Plus he is like me - NO MORE MONEY TO UKRAINE and tons more.

ALL OF THE MONEY LAUNDERING and other bs should have NEVER EVER HAPPENED and I BLAME THE EFFING Rs and the EFFING Ds aka PNAC NUT JOBS AND DIRTY NEO CONS.

PLUS THROW IN THE DIRTY UKES KILLING UKES AND OLD PRESIDENT Z. I MAY SEND YOU A LINK LATER ON if I can find it in a PRIVATE message.

Take care and my husband told me to tell you HELLO.

I hope that I can get back east - on the coast and if WE GO THROUGH PA - maybe we could meet up for a meal or coffee and shoot a bit too. ONE of these days! LOL

Sincerely,

Catherine

My husband went elk hunting with his early tag several times.

He has been busy with some Church stuff.

BOTH of us have been busy with some 'political stuff' on the LOCAL front. We got some neighbors involved too.

Bad news about old friends, my older brother and older sister when it comes to their health and other matters.

I may send you an update on his CK failure once he completes his doctor's visit NEXT WEEK.

I am okay and busy with other things OFFLINE.

He is offline a lot but still READS a lot as I do - online and OFF the net.

WE are enjoying the INDIAN SUMMER. I need to get up North too. Ride and so forth. Visit some friends on the MT/ID border and right below British Columbia, Canada.

I am looking at one piece of property UP there too.

I had twins (DEER!) again this year in that special place by the berries and OLD brush that I cleared out. EAST of the SIDE OF THE OLD CATTLE PATH from many moons ago.

The one female deer but not the one with the LONG neck had TWINS again this year. Their spots are still on them but they are fading. She has had TWINS now for 3 years in a row!

They are NOT spooked by us at all. I leave them alone but watch them and I still TALK to them too. I have always talked to my former dogs as you know or may remember.

I enjoy the WILDLIFE but I am tired of the deer, bear and other wild animal poop in the back yard in front of and behind my water rights ditch and the BIG vegetation that I brought back to life when I bought this land. Town lot with a HUGE NO BUILD ZONE way back there - many, many acres down to one of the 3 rivers here in town. The PONDS and lake are still attracting the ducks, geese, eagles, osprey, etc. That LAKE is bigger now too.

The LOLO NATIONAL FOREST SEED that I planted HERE ON this home site is still growing well!

Blessings, coffee and hugs to you and your wife.

The antidote

for

class envy, socialism, statism, “equity”, & much of today’s geopolitical mess is OPPORTUNITY !

As in INDIVIDUAL OPPORTUNITY !

Our Founders understood this. Opportunity for all individuals killed feudalism.

At least for a couple centuries.

Our current enemies are more “revived NAZIS” than communists. They just use the more successful cocmmie recruiting tools & myths.

Their goal is post-depopulation neo-FEUDALISM, in which our survivors exist as serfs, chattel, only to serve their self-designated “elites” class.

Our absolute DUTY is to end them. End them all.

Only then could Humanity honestly tackle the very REAL problems they warn of like overpopulation; and permanently dismiss their own LIE-Myths like “climate change”.

Miss Catherine,

The local doe critter had twins this year (mild winter) she is along the route I walk....Her & the twins just "look" at me as I stroll by...LOL.

She normally just foals one....

Finally starting to cool off....

Sure hoping (price of heating oil) for another mild winter...

All the best to you & yours...

Later, Mark
