Recovery should be quicker than previously, but I'm scared. I don't want to do this again. 2 yrs later I'm finally back at full speed & don't always need the wheelchair when we go out.

Idk how to finish this post or why I feel I needed to make it, but thanks for listening I guess. 💘

Couple yrs ago I slipped in the bathroom, did the splits, & broke my hip. It took 8 months to walk again.

No one checked it after surgery. A screw has been loose the Whole time! Immense pain. Yrs of pain. There are 2 possibilities, but both require surgery.

my woke take is that entirely too many people feel entitled to the benefits of a social contract while not feeling bound by the responsibilities of said contract

BREAKING: Israel plans to halve aid into Gaza, accusing Hamas of violating ceasefire with slow release of dead hostages, AP sources say.

Israel plans to halve aid into Gaza over slow return of dead hostages, a test for the Gaza ceasefire

The tenuous ceasefire in the two-year Israel-Hamas war is being tested as complex issues remain a day after widespread jubilation over the return to Israel of the last 20 living hostages held in Gaza and the release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in exchange.

Thanks to Republicans in Congress, some Americans will have to pay more than $22,000 every year to keep their health insurance coverage.

$22,000.

That could be a matter of keeping health care coverage or just giving up—and for some people, life and death.
