Well, almost.
Dear Readers: I have been following Professor Jacobson’s and Tammy Bruce’s reports on the Obamacare hearing with great interest (and Hillary is 44′s analysis has been inspiring). Today’s look at “severability” has been fascinating. Even though that it has been likened to a train wreck, and a plane wreck, I don’t want to get too excited that there is going to be a perfect trifecta of design failure culminating in November:
However, I might be getting too optimistic on the subconscious level. Today, as I am walking the Young Prince and his gal pal to the car after school, discussing the latest social studies test, I walk off the curb. I land on my hand, and the left upper leg took a direct hit. I was in intense pain, but managed to get to the car and have the kids help me into the house.
After conferring with my beloved father-in-law (a doctor), and tapping into my prescription grade analgesics, it seems that I avoided breaks and tears. My husband offered to rush back home from his Northern Outpost. However, I seem only to have major bruising of the major muscle groups in my upper leg, as well as to my dignity, so Horemheb remains at his duty station. It looks like the worst of it is that I will limp a bit, and blog a bit more than usual.
I have got to stay focused better! Of course, I am not the only one excited. Charles Caesar says that the Supreme Court is an Obamacare Death Panel. I can only hope.
Related to medical issues, I have other news. W.C. has been covering the on the financial problems of accused mass murderer Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, who killed 16 in Afghanistan. It seems that shortly after this incident, the Army ordered a review of the use of an anti-malarial drug used in that country: Robert Bales Charged: Military Scrambles To Limit Malaria Drug Just After Afghanistan Massacre .
Mefloquine, also called Lariam, has severe psychiatric side effects. Problems include psychotic behavior, paranoia and hallucinations. The drug has been implicated in numerous suicides and homicides, including deaths in the U.S. military. For years the military has used the weekly pill to help prevent malaria among deployed troops.
More comprehensive details on the horrendous psychiatric side-effects on this drug can be found HERE for the scientifically inclined.
On a more positive note, Brown University has reported on the development of a “Bed-of-Nails” Brest implant that can deter the growth of cancer cells: Made from a common federally approved polymer, the implant is the first to be modified at the nanoscale in a way that causes a reduction in the blood-vessel architecture that breast cancer tumors depend upon, while also attracting healthy endothelial cells for breast tissue.
I hope this is the last personal medical update I need to give for some time. Thanks for everyone’s well wishes, and if you want to support a great conservative blogger who needs more substantial medical care, check out: ZILLA-AID-ATHON.As I gave a bit today, I like to think that I am mostly intact because of good karma.

I hope your leg heals quickly!
Nice! This topic is very useful for us. The estimated statistics on dog bites in the 4 million people in the U.S. each year are bitten by dogs. Coarser than a dozen fatal and almost 800,000 require medical attention. If a dog bites you or your child has been injured, it may be concerned that giving in exchange for help with medical expenses and unpaid bills. You can turn around and Solomon, Relihan, agent in Arizona dog bite.
I’m so sorry you were injured! Prayers and best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Great graphics, as usual, oh Goddess!
Thank you for linking me and for helping! Great roundup! I’m sorry about your leg, having had both the type of injury you have now and also having broken bones in the past, I can testify that what you got can hurt as bad as or even worse than a break, even if it heals faster – and I hope it heals FAST!
I NEED Obamacare to be struck down, the doctors who specialize in my condition already largely operate underground and risk losing EVERYTHING to help save the lives of their patients do to existing bureaucratic screwery, bad politics, and cronyism, it will worsen with obamacare and it won’t just be people with my diseases who can’t get it taken care of properly! Doctors need MORE freedom to treat their patients according ot medical evidence and not some cookie cutter one size fits all standard of treatment and patients need MORE freedom to find the correct doctor to address their needs! There will be LESS of both of these things under obamacare and then of course there is the fact that if the gov’t can mandate that you buy something you don’t want or need, it will not stop at health insurance. Most of the doctors who treat the diseases that I have don’t even accept health insurance, so people like me would be forced to pay for a service we can’t use and still have to pay cash for our doctors to save our lives!
I think if they want to keep Obamacare but the individual mandate is struck down, then there should be an opt in, not opt out, for people to get it if they want it, and a mandate that says people HAVE to use obamacare if they supported the tyrannical law! Make the unions, the AARP, AMA doctors who backstabbed their colleagues, and the congressional commies have to be subjected to obamacare and if anyone else wants it, they can opt in, but leave the rest of us alone to get the care that we need in the manner that we see fit! There, I fixed it, forward this to the powers that be.
[...] the reason for the silence. It seems I was just a titch too excited about the quashing of Obamacare by the Supreme Court — I DID break my leg. The upper top [...]
