Mental health update

Published on 25 Comments on Mental health update

My doctor was happy to see me today because apparently I'm one of his few CAR-T patients who's currently lucid. The others are staring blankly at the ceiling and trying to remember who the president is.

But I'm not out of the woods yet. If I start posting charts of, say, oatmeal consumption vs. AAA battery usage you'll know that I too have fallen prey to "neurological fuzziness," as they call it.

I almost wish I had. At least it's evidence that the T-cells are (over) working. Instead, I have to wait a month and then get a boring old M-protein test to see if anything happened.

      Google paid 99 dollars an hour on the internet. Everything I did was basic Οnline w0rk from comfort at hΟme for 5-7 hours per day that I g0t from this office I f0und over the web and they paid me 100 dollars each hour. For more details visit

    If Kevin persists in railing against the Fed and proclaiming that inflation wasn't and isn't a concern (using charts with 2nd order polynomial trend lines), then we'll know he's still the same as before

    Seems like a good state of mind to have in order to get through this next election cycle. Just wake me up when Trump is either defeated, in jail, or dies. If Trump or DeathSantis is elected, just leave me in semi vegetated state.

    Hang in there Kevin. We will be waiting and watching for you and wishing you well on your journey to better health. Right now, maybe it is better to not know who the president is....

    "... staring blankly at the ceiling and trying to remember who the president is."

    I used to pay a lot to get into that condition. Funny how things change.

    Best of luck to you, Kevin.

    I laughed and laughed....but then braced myself and remembered that this is not a fumy situation, (even if I am grateful to Kevin for making me laugh).

    Be that as you may...you, Kevin, have proved to be unusually and remarkably resilient....strong even. Frankly I don't know how you do...but you do, and you have, you have a...long & substantial history of...not overcoming, but, prevailing.

    As you will here.

    I steal from Faulkner's Nobel Address:

    I refuse to accept this. I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance.

    Best Wishes and Get Well Soon, Traveller

      Excellent assessment of Kevin Drum's abilities & strengths.

      And stealing from Faulkner'a acceptance speech is fine here - but please don't steal anything else by him. I find him unreadable Sorry!

    charts of, say, oatmeal consumption vs. AAA battery usage

    I should think it is tautologically evident that there is an inverse correlation between AAA battery usage and oatmeal consumption. Anyone who uses lots of AAA batteries isn't concerned about the environment and unlikely to be concerned about their health so won't be consuming much oatmeal. Anyone eating lots of oatmeal must be concerned about their health and by extension the environment and so would not use lots of AAA batteries.

    Obviously 🙂

    So this is what a polecat is... excellent war video (a gift to make Kevin and Miriam smile)...they seem particularly ill tempered and potentially dangerous. (this is only a twitter link, not an embed...sorry it is so long) Best Wishes, Traveller

    Everything will be fine. The cats guarantee it. And I’ll take the piping hot oatmeal if you can put in a few nuts and fruit.

    Just connect that oatmeal or AAA battery chart to something about your cats and I won't care anyway.

    Bets of luck with the treatments!

    "Over working" is not a thing you want from your immune system. It means your immune system is missing its target, creating inflammation such as leaky vessels.

    You are on a good path.
