Great News!

GREAT NEWS: The staff has just about finished the process of moving Baby Hippo from my room to the 4th Floor — which is now intended for Physical Therapy patients. Typically, he lies in bed 24/7 for weeks at a stretch, so I wish them luck!

I don’t know how long I’ll have the room to myself, but I need the break!

Add another waffle, two eggs (any style), and a banana!

One waffle, two strips of bacon, and two cups of coffee (black). Still hungry!

Afternoon snack: ‘Picklewich’

Two slices of Pepperidge Farm Farmhouse Hearty White bread, generous amounts of Heinz ketchup, and Vlasic kosher dill spears. Tasty!

Credit where it’s due

Here at Boulder Post Acute, formerly Mesa Vista of Boulder, there were no problems. In fact, I can look out my window to the east and see a huge Generac-brand generator.

Obviously, preparation began long before the power outage, as it wisely should!

Here at the Sanitarium, entertainment is where and when you can find it . . .

This afternoon, it’s another episode between the oversexed young lady in a wheelchair and an old guy who can barely get around with a walker (NOT yours truly). She desperately yearns to play kissy-face and he stubbornly resists (mostly).

Female CNAs, as many as three at once, have in their wisdom determined that the old codger needs their protection and they have physically blocked the amorous lass from the object of her affections; she has resorted to a screaming tantrum. (Her fits are no worse than listening to the political programs and UFO shows my roommate is obsessed by all day long.)

It seems to have calmed down for the moment — but I bet the old guy has NEVER enjoyed the attention of multiple ladies at once!

Having typed this report, I’ll now return to the hallway for further developments.

Morning after:

The overgrown hillside to the north is covered in snow, and it’s still lightly falling . . . Temperature outside is 16 degrees.

I’m expecting two cups of hot, black coffee to arrive shortly.

Bashing the Wuhan Bat Virus!

I can report NO runny nose or sneezing, NO coughing with congestion deep in my lungs, NO headache, and NO fuzzy thinking this morning. The antiviral PAXLOVID regimen will last several days, but it has shown dramatic results just overnight!

President Trump’s worst failure was in keeping that weird little man Fauci around, so he could focus on worthless vaccines instead of antivirals. (Fauci was also a wretched excuse for a scientist in the fight against HIV back in the 1980s.)

Update from the Sanitarium:

chuckle when they came to tell Baby Hippo that they will minimize contact with us for a period. No more 50 calls a day for silly stuff my roommate thinks he needs. Yippee! His constant coughing and sneezing probably caused my illness, overwhelming my natural immunity.

Report from the ‘home’:

I thought I was lacking compassion at this point in my life, but I have to admit that this stark drama has affected me.

It was much easier living outdoors year-round!

As I finished the post above, the 300+ pound bedridden roommate let loose with another bout of explosive diarrhea; NO sympathy from me for this critter, so I’m NOT getting soft in my Bidenesque dotage.

What I see from the sanitarium, gazing on the international scene

YES, Putin is a gangster. Comes from a long line of Russian gangsters.

AND YES, Zelensky is a con artist who has cheated Americans out of billions of $$$.

Frankly, I'm most afraid of our own senile Joe Biden stumbling into World War III . . .
