My prayers and condolences for the loss of your wife. It’s not something anyone would ever want to experience. I lost my aunt, uncle, and cousin (their daughter) to cancer. In the same week. In the same hospital. It was too surreal to contemplate. As for my wife, she’s getting by and does what she needs to to keep herself busy and active. But the RRMS in most cases generally evolves into Primary Progressive MS 10 to 20 years after the initial diagnosis. The boogeyman here is the spinal lesions - that’s a sign of advancing PPMS, so she has been living with it for years. She had been complaining that she had symptoms of Lupus for a good dozen years, which has very similar symptoms, but she tested negative for it and our family doctor never pursued it any further. All other things aside, we’re both in our mid 50’s, and there’s a good chance that with the latest medications, she’ll still live a long time and have a good quality of life. I have some serious issues myself, and we sometimes joke about who is going to throw the first shovelful of dirt on the other’s pine box. LOL Gallows humor takes the edge off the situation. If she has a momentary episode, we chalk it up to her ‘brain cooties’. LOLOL
Do we still have an over/under date for the time to name a new junior US Senator representing the State of Arizona?And will it be somebody like Joe Arpaio? Too much, too soon, to hope for, maybe, but keep the options open.
Considering the lengths the GOPe scum have gone too in Alabama ( $30 million and now an updated Mississippi takedown strategy ) we should assume there must be enormous pressure already on Gov. Ducey to have a non-controversial uniparty-acceptable ( flexible, moldable, blackmailable ) replacement ready to go. I hope Ducey has a spine of steel. Maybe AZ Freepers can shed more light?
Ideally he should pick either Ward or DeWitt or at least someone anti-Amnesty, pro-Wall, pro-Trump, pro-America from the list vying for Flake's seat. They would would be the incumbent and very formidable if they schedule a special election after his death, and extremely formidable if they wait until that seat is next up in 2022.
Here's the nightmare scenario ... the GOPe elite somehow convince the Governor to follow tradition and appoint a family member to finish up the term! There are unconfirmed reports ( WTF!? ) that Cindy is ambassador-at-large at DoS ( Wikipukia ). In the eyes of the GOPe scum that is qualification enough. Even more troubling would be plopping Miss Piggy into that seat.
We don't want just one of those two seats in AZ, we want and MUST get both because currently we have neither with Flake and McCain. People outside Arizona should be just as busy as the people there burning up the phone lines and Twitter to Governor Ducey demanding he stand fast and help save America. It will positively destroy the GOPe if there are two patriots in those seats. It will cut them to the bone and grease the skids for the Wall and the fight against amnesty.
We don't want either of these broads as Senator!
"What hump?"
