Morning Open Thread [1] ['Dan K', 'Thom Hartmann', 'Belinda Ridgewood', 'Chitown Kev', 'Bill In Portland Maine'] Date: 2026-09-17 It’s 2:50 am Tuesday I am bored laying in a hospital bed. My knees yelling at me. I haven’t had the 6:00 pm pill. They have gave me a pain pill. I am sure of what happened early Monday morning 4:35 am I was trying to stay positive & make sure there was a MOT!! This post would have posted on time! I saw my primary yesterday @ 3:00 pm. The only thing that concerned her was there was no notes she could she as to my condition while in the hospital! The doctor asked did anyone from neurology see you that afternoon! Yes 2 doctors came in! The did all the squeeze test & if I knew where I was! Then I said I have a video appointment sept 24th @ 10:30 am! Big Smile! I got a Plavix 75MG tab to take for 21 days And I will take a Cholesterol Control pill Atorvastatin 80mg for into the future! The doctor also told me I am on 1 aspirin a day for life! Then she said you now know the signs of trouble pay attention to them! I told her I have to move my belongs! She was not happy about how society treats us poor people! So there was no restrictions! Because she knows I am decent about weight! Not perfect though! On the way out of the hospital the elevator lets you out at the administration office, I stopped & told the lady there what happened! She gave me info who to call & said it was important I tell my story so they can do better! Please remember I was way down on medicine to keep me level & in pain control! Bye 7:30 am I was done with we will look at your chart!! I was getting my daily medications! I made it to my house about 8:10am!! about 11:30 I got the Walgreen’s text that the Xtampa ER was ready! I hope the people that have been following my story see the news of what went down Wednesday & I am getting proper care for what happened! I have known for a long time I have some kind of blockage! My care team knows also, When will or how do they find it? Smiling Okay. This seems … let’s say “highly concerning.” I understand the potential for Good Things, but I watched a whole lot of B&W sci fi horror as a kid, and I have worries. — Mark Sumner 🌒 (@devilstower.bsky.social) 2026-09-17T04:29:37.944Z It’s 61* !!! warms up to 85* by noon! I will head home from Mini shelving work about that time! I plan on getting to the mini @ sunrise!! Manchin wants to talk about what Democrats lost?How about what Dems lost because of him?Voting rights. The expanded Child Tax Credit. Paid family leave. Childcare. Major climate provisions.Manchin caused Democrats to walk away from some of the biggest promises they made to voters. — Christopher Webb (@cwebbonline.com) 2026-09-17T05:25:53.257Z stick a rag in that mouth please!!! During Obama there was a Dem Senator that was trying to sabotage the ACA & I can remember that guys name!! The big 3 LLM companies remain the only companies IN THE WORLD able to pass off enormous, systemic cybersecurity screwups by their researchers as evidence of their products' cleverness and at this point it's so tedious I wish ill on all involved. — Hunter (@hunterub.bsky.social) 2026-09-17T03:33:21.614Z The worst human being to ever occupy the office. Just reprehensible scum. — Ron Filipkowski (@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social) 2026-09-16T23:01:27.813Z For 33 years, McConnell has voted against family and medical leave for working Americans. Then he disappears from the Senate for 92 days and keeps collecting his full paycheck. Apparently, paid leave is only a problem when someone else gets it. — Hoodlum 🇺🇸 (@nothoodlum.bsky.social) 2026-09-17T01:17:36.355Z The Trump administration wants to build its 250-foot arch near one of the country's busiest runways. The FAA will determine whether that poses a hazard. But independent experts already have concerns. n.pr/4xBhCFf — NPR (@npr.org) 2026-09-17T09:07:14.276852Z Canada Keeps Making Trump Look Like an Even Bigger Loser Than He Already Is!www.youtube.com/watch?v=3afy… — LiL'Silver (@officiallilsilver.bsky.social) 2026-09-17T09:14:42.228Z LOL Hope your day goes well! PS The doctor was looking at the cholesterol level and said what happened about a month ago! I answered I started eating M7M in my peanut mix, she replied are you sure it wasn’t peanuts with your M&M’s?
