In a post somewhere on this thread I read about a mattress. If it's the thin standard alternating pressure mattress it's better than nothing but not much. What he needs with his condition is called a Low Volume Pressure Release mattress which is designed specifically paraplegia, quadriplegia, and amputee patients. My wife had one for a few years because of pressure sores due to paraplegia for 30 years. They work much much better. Prayers for Jim and family.

I'll tell you some things about pressure sores they form inside and work out. Many things factor in. Doing pressure releases in the wheelchair aka tilt backs, NUTRITION, and a constant vigil at least once a day checking problem areas. The tail bone is a high risk as well as shoulder blades and hips as they bare the weight.

The wrong senator from Kentucky is the senate minority leader right now. Mitch may end up costing the GOP a huge chance at winning the senate back. Sometimes it's best to step back and let two waring nations have at it. This keeps them busy beating the crap out of each other and saves putting our troops in harms way when there is no political will for victory.

In such a case sometimes it's better to allow themselves to war with each other as it keeps them too busy too harm others. Iran and Iraq was one such example. I believe this to be a case with Ukraine and Russia. I don't like nor trust Putin and he is likely soon on his way out of office. I see no advantage in us helping someone who helped Joe on the Ukraine side. Choose your battles wisely and Joe Biden is too foolish and senile to lead our nation through a war.

Does Apresoline and Vistaril sound the same? Those are the US brand names for the drugs you mentioned. The many names for a one in the same prescription drug is ridiculous and dangerous. Try this one as another example Diltiazem aka Cardizem a BP Med. Diazepam which is Valium. The drug stores get confused like you said. I tried to get a prescription filled for a medication with a similar brand name to Xanax I was on both meds for different unrelated issues. After the third try I found out they were running the wrong medication through the computer saying I could not get a refill yet.

Better yet go to the ER and let them in triage start reading off the names they have of the meds you are taking. There is no sense in the same drug having as many names as there are manufactures. There needs to be a precise name used by all. I know all about knowing your meds. I cared for my wife for 30 years plus kept up with my own and did her hospice and my parents. It can be simplified.

One thing the FDA and pharmaceutical companies could do decrease wrong medications. Give a medication one mane and all companies use it. The chemical generic names of medications are endless and yes disasters waiting to happen.

I’ve been going into a local animal shelter website here https://www.young-williams.org/adopt/dogs/ for several months now. Always 75% or more of the dogs there are Pits. Always at least 50 Pits each time I check. I am assuming Free Ranging Pits picked up to re-home. I’ve been trying to find a Ratty aka Rat Terrier {Feist} to train as my service dog {hearing loss 40% VA rated} with n luck. Plenty of Pits out there though and I do not trust any of them.

From what has come out so far this is sounding more like a domestic with lousy shots. While I have never been to Dumas myself I was married to a wonderful woman also from Desha County in nearby McGehee a few miles from Dumas. I watched the video of the man who represented the festival. I see nothing wrong with such a festival I would encourage it minus the shooting which My guess is the other 4000+ in that town all could have done without. Desha County was poor in the 1950's and still is today. That issue isn't one of race there but just isolation. These towns were railroad towns. The nearest big city IIRC is Greeneville, MS.

My wife was partially raised in McGehee in her childhood and partly raised in East Tennessee where we would meet. Despite having to struggle from a sole income of a Boarding House her grandmother owned and operated dependent upon railroad workers renting rooms she loved living there. Some friends white and some black. In about 1965 she left the area for good after her freshman year at MecGehee and came back to East Tennessee.

I do have a cousin who was an instructor for Arkansas Emergency Management he said growth in the Desha area has been slow. I also remember my wife telling me her freshman year she took Arkansas history. The teacher had them recite the state motto and they all laughed. "The state of opportunity". This gathering seemed to be to promote opportunities for the area. I can remember my Mom when I was a kid she was the PTA president. They held school fairs to raise money for school projects. What's the difference?

These people seem peaceful to me. It is a small town of 4000. The organizer to the fundraiser seemed genuinely shaken and I would also bet his family has lived in Desha County since the 1850's.It's the mans home and the communities home. My guess is the shooter will be going to the next neighboring town Stuttgart where a state prison is.

You’ve hit rock bottom when you live in a town called Dumas, Arkansas

The U is pronounced long U Du mas. If I remember right there is a Frepper named Ding Dong Daddy from Dumas also.

My late wife grew up the next town over from Dumas in McGehee. Dumas is a very small town of about 4000.

To grossly underestimate your potential enemies’ attributes in war is very dangerous. Many words can be defined as having either positive or negative meaning depending on context. Trump was not putting Putin in a positive light but rather describing his capabilities as an enemy we would be fools to ignore. Pence has turned into a Bushite placing NWO Globalism ahead of the best interest of the USA. Pence is not kinder, he is not gentler, he is a calculating “useful idiot” NWO Moderate left shill whom the DEMs used in their coup. He is not the innocent victim he pretends to be.

Our military needs troops, equipment, funding, and support. It doesn’t need the Pentagon forcing them to learn Mel Brooks “The French Mistake.”

To say someone is smart etc is not as such support nor a compliment when you are accurately describing your enemies capabilities. Rather it is needed honest assessment of your enemy and shows the person understand his adversary. If you do less then you are a fool for underestimating your enemy. John Kelly is being the DEMs useful tool, playing into the medias hands for in exchange for their attention, and is using PC word game tactics to change meanings of accurate speech and wording.

Yes you’re right. Depending on what area of the brain is affected a patient loses cognitive ability, speech is affected, motor skills, co ordination.
My mother suffered two strokes from Alzheimer’s fifteen years ago and passed away. It was heart breaking.

My Mon suffered a Stroke in 2017 and within three months passed from Dementia that she did not have up to the time point of the Stroke. My sister had several Strokes and died from Dementia a few years before our mom.

how does one die from Dementia??

It affects & damages the involuntary portion of the brain also. It can be a long process or in the case of a Stroke it can happen in a very few short months.

I’ve become extremely distrusting of hospitals as a viable path toward health. Let me recouperate at home if at all possible. I’ve recently learned that sepsis is a serious risk in hospitals.

I worked in HVAC/Boiler/Rlectrical maintenance in nursing homes before medical retirement. Sepsis, Staph, Medication Resistant Staph, TB, and other possibilities have been amongst healthcare facilities for decades. I used to have to for some insane reasoning by the administrator box up for pick up and burning medical haz-mat the red bag stuff. I never caught anything, but I practiced self-sanitary precautions and when I got home from work washed my uniform in a detergent and Pine-sol mixture. Oh yeah, several patients also had STD's. I retired on medical disability non work related in 1994. I worked in those facilities for 10 years.

The truckers have not destroyed public or private property. They have not set their rigs on fire. They have been peaceful. Many are owners responsible for a self-owned business where several million dollars a year or in some case a single load must be accounted for and handled responsibly. They work very long hours sacrificing time away from family so goods can be delivered to store some of which will be burned and looted by self-proclaimed entitled victim who likely has never as so much worked a day.

The truckers are protesting trying to protect their right to work. They aren't asking government to assume their risk on the contrary they pay some of the highest federal, and state taxes in the way of permits, licensing, etc.

Trudeau is fixing to find out what it's like to have a nation with no deliveries made. Within a week and by no means more than two weeks the Canadian Parliament after all trucking shuts down will in fact remove him from office and it will be bipartisan via self-preservation for their own seats.

Anybody heard from The Smirking Chimp since Biden’s been in office? His NWO Socialist/Globalist dream is coming true CANMEXICA.

Gee he must be standing up now huh? During the Clinton years he liked talking about Kneecaps. Did Viper Head grow taller? LOL

Watching Peter Doocy in a White House press briefing is like watching Lt Colombo questioning a guilty murder suspect. You’re just waiting for the moment when the person finally cracks under the pressure and screws up LOL.

From what I read earlier he also had bouts with Asthma for years. I doubt his weight was a factor as he had lost a considerable amount.

“And Finally in the news. Medical science released a study today that Salvia causes Stomach Cancer. However, the study further showed only when swallowed in small amounts over a long period of time”- George Carlin

My bet would be research is being backed by the R.O.P. to stop all drinking in the UK as the R.O.P. is taking over there. Christ drank wine, Christ turned water into wine and yes it was wine. His wine shin parables were related to fermented wine as well. Paul recommended it to Timothy for his stomach's sake.

Moderation and self-control is the rule. Drinking alcohol in itself is not a sin. Drinking to the point of drunkenness is sin. It is also sin by Paul's teachings to drink around someone who has Christian convictions against it or someone whom it might mislead.

I do find it ironic psychiatrist would object when they pass out antidepressants like candy many times without any patient education as to potentials for some rather nasty and even hallucinations as known side effects.
