    My wife and I went to a small touristy town in northeast Pennsylvania to check out the shops and bars, and have dinner. It was definitely confusing and awkward to figure out when to wear masks and when not to. Only the restaurant posted guidelines, most of the shops had few people, and mask wearing among the tourists varied widely.

    My wife, through her pain management doc, gets week-long ketamine infusions in the ICU about every two years. Or, used to. That therapeutic is off the table thanks to covid. She should be getting it now, she is past due.

    Unless we can get the VA to do it in consult with her pain management, she is screwed. Those infusions help tremendously. They suck, they're a huge hassle, but they do help her CRPS pain.

    Fuck covid, right in its little virus ass.

    I was able to have breakfast with my neighbor this morning, and then after nap #2 we went and brought a cupcake to my elderly next door neighbor and visited. It's nice to be able to see people again and allow my bebe to see other adults. Plus side, my child was exhausted and has slept really good all day. Social interaction is a new thing and that little brain was soaking it all in.

    I have a friend who has CRPS. He just got a stimulator put in a couple weeks ago and says it has helped tremendously with his pain. Is that something she's able to consider doing or do they only treat with drugs?

    Depending on where you live, a lot of doctors gave ketamine clinics where I think you pay out of pocket. My wife goes about every 6 weeks and it costs her like $350.

    It gets worse. Apparently he bailed out Kyle Rittenhouse. What a dirtbag.

    Oh I know, he’s a fucking loser. I’m actually looking forward to the backlash on this one, I hope it’s sweeeeeeeeet.

    His apology video is even worse than the first one what a squirming little shitstain he is. This n the video he blames “the state of tings” on black leaders and basically does everything but confess his love to racism. He’s pathetic snd beyond hope, just euthanize him.

    She had a spinal cord stimulator for years. It didn't work great for her and ended up failing. They removed it a while back. They are planning on a new one, but she's not hopeful about it working any miracles. I'm hopeful the higher frequency stimulation will help more with the new one.

    She gets those also, and they work pretty good as, like, boosters. It's the long treatments that are truly life changing for her, though. Been getting those single day treatments every two to three months, and the long ones every two years, for around ten years.

    I am so sick of all the morons trying to tell me it's illegal to ask if they are vaccinated.

    Easiest way to figure it out is ask who the president is. (Well, more specifically, who won the election).

    That's a pretty safe assumption.

    Another perfect example of “When they don’t say YES right away....”

    I heard they vaccinated Jenny McCarthy’s son and he became double-retarded from it.

    I heard that because of vaccine shedding from her son, Jenny McCarthy can't get an erection anymore.

    I went to Costco this weekend, which in my neck of the woods, has removed their mask mandate. My husband and I played game, "I Guess They're Vaccinated...Or Are They?!?"

    I'm assuming I have the antibodies since I tested positive. My doc told me I should wait three months to get the vaccine because the side effects are worse when you have the antibodies than when you don't. Not sure if I'll wait the full three months because I'm anxious to just put this whole thing behind me, but at least I can be somewhat prepared for the side effects.

    Of all the morons caught up in the anti-vax world, I feel truly bad for this kid. How shitty is it for the world to know you're such a terrible kid that your mom would rather you get COVID, measles and polio than just be autistic?

    so public schools can continue following the current mask mandate, until such a time as it's irrelevant because school is out for the summer anyway. Also, it says "could" be fined up to $1000, not "shall." So basically abbott -- whom everyone hates anyway now after the snowpocalypse -- is trying to virtue signal to his dwindling base while further digging himself deeper with every logical person in Texas.

    I hate the the pandemic has become political.
