So, gonna by high 90s/low 100s around these parts today and tomorrow. Usually do not see that for another 4 weeks or so. Odd. I get burned very easily, so, will try to stay out of it.

Book editing cruising along. The hospital book is close. really close. I am very worried, since it will be interpreted as an expose of bad hospital and state conduct by some, that I will face retaliation for writing it. That is possible.The state is mass-violating state, federal, and constitutional law systematically and denying massive numbers of severely mentally ill persons their guaranteed rights.That is wrong. I suspect some prosecutors, cops, and other state officials are really going to be angry with me for revealing this so publicly and, if I do say so myself, quite clearly and plainly--for everyone to see and make their own minds up about.

I once made the 2nd most powerful person in my state extremely angry. I operated on his wife. He was running around the waiting room announcing to everyone quite loudly that he "..was a senator, I'm a senator!!!"

I interpreted this to mean that he believed senators and their wives were entitled to better surgical care than non-senators. I found that extremely distasteful. Really, really pissed me off. And I let him know. Nobody comes onto my unit and starts making other patients and families, just regular folks, teachers, truck drivers, whatever, feel that they are less special than anyone else. Not occurring in my universe--ever.

Two days later, I got called into my Chief's office. This senator had called the President of the university, where I was a rather highly contributing member of the faculty, and demanded that he fire me because I had not been sufficiently obsequious to he and his beloved. That man i still the 2nd most powerful person in my state. Nuf said.

So, I am worried. I am. We shall see. The show must go on.

Less hypo this morning. Slept about 6 hours. Pretty good for me. Just working on books today, as I injured my back on a long ride the other day. Came home and immed. did a back yoga youtube and injured it way, way worse. Moron. So, gotta rest for a few days.

Hugs and love to all. Strength to those struggling. I pray for everyone on this site every night, but also prayed for your husband and you last night, Christina--hope things are better today!!!!!!!!!!
