Hello all. Ron has been having some issues with memory, thinking, and staying awake. Last year his doctor sent him to a neuro doctor to see if he had dementia or alzhimors. The tests showed no real issues. Ron has been gone for about three months and when he got home a few weeks ago I noticed a huge change in him. He was struggling with remembering anything, he had no energy, and he was falling asleep in the middle of conversations.
So last week he saw his primary care doctor who is a really good doctor who cares. He sent Ron for a heart and artery CT scan. On Monday he saw the doctor for the scan and on tuesday he had the CT scan. Thursday evening Ron’s doctor called my phone. He knew me as I was once his patient and from my working in the ICU. He was trying to contact Ron and apologized for calling me but Ron was not answering his phone and he really needed to talk to him.
Ron has 4 major blockages in and around his heart. One is the left descending artery and is called the widow maker. The others are the arteries that feed the heart. He is at serious risk of a heart attack and death of at least parts of the heart muscle. As it is a serious blockage / narrowing / hardening of the arteries he is not to exert himself or get upset in any way. It took several days to get the medication he needs to help keep the arteries open. Ron read a bunch of stuff on it but failed to send it to me and is talking to his sister so I can’t ask him. When I know more I will share it with you. As I will need to go with him and drive him to appointments posting will be sporadic at best. Hugs

Someone should tattoo ‘E Pluribus Unum’ across his forehead.
Ogles is from Kentucky. They have a .4% Muslim population. Roughly 18,000 people.
This dickbag is trying to pick on a marginalized community because HE HAS NOTHING ELSE TO TALK ABOUT. He protects pedophiles and explodes the deficit. He delivered nothing to his constituents and will die a thousand cowardly deaths for enabling Dementia Donnie.
Trump and Hegseth do not understand supply chains. Or China, or Russia, or Yemen. They only follow Israel.
They were blackmailed into war.

Punish the rich? They have been underpaying their taxes for decades.
Also, at 70, they likely have no income from a job, but are managing their wealth. Capital gains tax rate is 15% up to $600,000, and 20% for over $600,000.
