H i everyone. Yesterday we were back in the ER for another 6 hours with the result that my mother was admitted at midnight. The concern now is the wound. prairie, I think it's probably a stage 4. It's very inflamed, but the tests did not reveal an infection as yet, at least as I understand it...

She is something! She got a good dose of morphine for the pain, and it hardly phased her, except to make her speech a little slurred, and so she kept asking me the time, etc., meanwhile, I'm fading fast as it gets later and later, and wish I could sleep...

Bit, I saw your comments about Obama not moving more toward the center.

A couple of things I've read have referenced this also...

I think his earlier persona as a uniter, etc. was a nod in this direction, but he's dropped that lately, hasn't he?

The commentary I've read speculate that he's truly a man of the Left and just assumes that the "masses" will follow him & his ideas if only he can get thru to them....that they leave their "false consciousness" behind & admit their bitterness, etc.

Additionally, I heard Jonah Goldberg yesterday. He says Mickey Kaus has a site named: PivotWatch which has been waiting for Obama to pivot toward the middle, too. So far....not. I'm sure you can find this if you haven't already.

Now I must get going...lots to do, needless to say.

Oh dear ((((Molly)))). I’m sorry to read this has been going so rough for all of you. Good that she’s admitted, perhaps they can get a handle on what needs to be addressed.

Decubiti are the bane of nursing care. So hard to prevent even with the best of nursing care. I recall a patient, years ago (decades actually) that had one of the first Blue cross policies written. He developed MS and after a court fight was allowed to LIVE in the hospital because of the coverage this old policy had.

He had a strict schedule for every two hour turning, up in the chair for certain hours (he could shift his weight while sitting which helped) etc. Even with meticulous round the clock professional nursing care he sometimes would develop a Stage I and we’d jump all over it to get it to heal and not deteriorate further. He lived in that hospital room for years.

I’ll keep you and your mom in my prayers dear.

Good morning everybody, I’m off for a walk on a beautiful morning. Unless Mr. Prairie wants breakfast first, I see the hour is a bit later than I’d realized.

I agree, Nobama really believes he can 'convince' people that liberalism 'works'. And I still say: How is this not another incarnation of the Duke of Deception, Mike Dukakis??? His entire campaign was about 'educating' people how gov't. 'can help people', how he was the 'competent' candidate, that he had all the ideas...Nobama's entire philosophy is informed by nothing other than his elitism (just like Tank Commander Mike)...;-))
