Yesterday at the hospital, well, it’s about the only hospital in our neck of the woods that requires masks on your face. It was a twelve hour day for us. I spent a fair amount of time hiking around outside to get some exercise, but during the time I was indoors I let the mask they gave me rest on my mustache, below my nose and not really covering my mouth. They only people who challenged me were the people supervising the “surgery lounge” waiting room. I ignored them. No actual medical personnel said a thing, and for the hours my wife and I were together we didn’t mask at all. I also saw medical people surreptitiously unmasking and remasking. They probably knew how inane the whole thing is because they’d seen this PSA from 2019:
In our neck of the woods (the San Gabriel Valley east of Los Angeles) masks are still required in medical office buildings and the offices themselves, but no longer in hospitals and nursing homes. Tell me how that works? The blue fiber masks make me sneeze and sometimes cough, which brings me frunny looks… Masks are rubbish.
Best to your wife for a speedy, successful recovery. Knees are tough - a difficult joint as we were not intended to walk upright. My hip came out OK but left me with the operated leg longer than the other (about 3/8”) which makes for tiring walking and some lower badk stress. Need orthotic as heel lift is not a success. It’s always something!
As surgeon Dr. Sherwin Nuland once wrote, no surgeon can give you a new back. Filll in appropriate joint.
No. We ACTUALLY did go into a science field. I’m a registered nurse graduate of 1990. I had to study a multitude of science classes that were more advance than required for a teaching degree. We had to be able to write perfectly in essay form how every part of a cell works; trace a drop of blood throughout the body (telling where the pathogen would be attacked and how) with any portion wrong failing us. Masks are worn in surgery to keep my sweat and spit from dropping into an open surgical area. The masks are taken off among the medical staff AS SOON as we are out of patient care area. NOW: we follow the mandates so our hospital gets paid. We have to pull that mask down to communicate with near dead patients. Our doctors ask us to make the patient hear what he just said. So we pull down the mask and repeat, sometimes right in the patient’s ear what was said. Each of our docs have that done cuz- hey! They make 10-20 X our wage & would be a grand target to sue.
Much better this morning. She had been a bit nauseous from pain medication but she stopped those and went with straight Tylenol overnight. Slept and had a good breakfast. The physical therapy aspects are coming along just as expected.
I hope your wife is on the mend, Mark, and well done for your courage! I had exactly the same experience when I visited my ailing father-in-law in hospital recently. No-one gave a damn about the masks, and I even got a lot of smiles from the staff. We're so over this garbage. By contrast, on the way home from work yesterday, I heard a government announcement on the (French) radio. A concerned daughter is urging her parents to get the jab to "protect" themselves. All very touching! The French are one of the last holdouts here in Europe, apart from - and this goes without saying - the Germans.
Good for you! I’m glad your family is doing well. Mask fighting got me involved early on. Our school board is corrupt nazis just laughing at parent protests so I took my kid out of school. 4 days later the principal asked my kid to come back.... no mask. My son was the only kid in school, that I know of, that did not wear a mask spring 2020. I told many other parents but they didn’t want to keep their kid at home they rather send mass email threats.... when you stand up for your rights things change.... also when you take away their money (from attendance) they listen. I don’t do empty threats, lawsuits. I take action that’s in my power. I will never wear a mask unless there’s a BAD smell lol
I never wore a face diaper during this scam. I refused to bow down to these zealots. I refused to be vaccinated with an 'emergency' vaccine. Looking back, my instincts proved to be better than anything Fauci and his cult of followers recommended. God help those who succumbed to his lies.
My naturopath recommended one NAC with Tylenol to protect liver...

All about control & $.

"Courage."
(Wasn't that Dan Rather more than a few years ago?)
Coincidentally, this short essay on that topic came into my inbox this morning, recommended:

I despair that mask has become a verb.

Thanks for reporting from "the inside!" One of these years, commonsense will just HAVE to make another appearance!
I wish your wife a speedy recovery.
I’m grateful that your wife’s surgery went well and that y’all are home. It makes me sad that there are still places pushing masks.
Best of luck to your wife!
