Last day drinking TSO.

Today was my last day drinking my beloved whip worms.  I feel they gave me back my mobility, strength and clarity.  But the trial is coming to an end.  The only thing left now is a few check ups on how I'm doing without TSO.  Today's appointment was almost an all day event.  The appointment itself was about 5 hours but when you add in driving time it adds up to being a 7 hour day away from home.  The research crew were awesome as always.  Even when I got all woozy getting my blood drawn during labs.  Note to all you out there who have issues getting your blood drawn - WATER! Make sure you are hydrated.  I normally am fine but I almost passed out twice this time.  Granted they did want to take a lot of blood this time and because I was struggling not to pass out, they didn't get all the blood they needed.  I hope the next blood draw goes better.  The MRI on the other hand went great, for the most part.  Got a great nap til they woke me for the contrast.  I woke up to a cramp in my arm that had the IV.  No biggie. I was more embarrassed that they had to come in and check on me to see what was wrong.  At least this time I didn't have to pee half way through the MRI.  I hate that!

Obama Nation - My predictions


Obama was just re-elected.  Here are my predictions for the next 4 years.
  • 3 more liberal judges appointed to the supreme court.
  • Jobs leave or fail under the weight of taxes and regulations.  
    • massive lay offs.
  • Unemployment (the real unemployment) over 20%
  • Inflation will make the dollar nearly worthless.
  • Obamacare
    • Insurance skyrockets
    • System gets over burdened.
    • Doctors quitting.
    • People not getting adequate care.
    • Abortion and birth-control being paid for by tax payers - oh wait, that's already happening.
    • Medical research/advancements will slow or all out stop.
  • Obama gets to keep his promise to the Russians now that he has "more flexibility."
  • 2nd Amendment gets nixed or extremely restricted.
  • The main stream media will still worship, adore, and cover for him.
  • Freedom of speech being limited.
    • More American in-prison or threatened for exercising their freedom of speech.
  • Freedom of Religion restricted...only for Christians.
    • Christian persecution and imprisonment.
  • Lots more wasteful spending. I'd say about a trillion a year.
  • Food and gas prices, "Will necessarily have to rise."
    • I predict gas will at one point reach $6.
    • Food cost will double possibly triple.
  • Food shortage. - I suspect this will happen around the 3rd year.
  • Illegal's voting - Oh wait, that's already happening too.
  • Over 50% of the population on some form of government assistance. - I predict this by the end of his first year.
  • Stock market crash - I think that will happen soon.  It won't happen all at once though.
  • Public moral in the toilet, but if asked, most who voted for Obama will still support him.
  • Class and racial divide deepens.
  • Our defense budget will get slashed.
  •  We get attacked again on American soil.
  • Iran will war with Israel.  US will not help Israel.
  • Energy shortage.
  • Lots of Republicans saying "I told you so."
I'm sure I have a lot more I could add, but I'm tired.
