My surgery update

Little back story, 1st EN&T Doc (fairly young) who examined me was pretty sure it was a cyst and not a tumor
when he scheduled my operation with a more experienced EN&T Doctor, well it turned out to be a tumor and
all he done was take a biopsy of it. Waiting 5 to 10 days for the results to see if it's cancerous and then
decide on a course of action. They also scheduled me for a PET scan looking to see if I have cancer anywhere
else in my body. I'm getting really worried now because this hoarse voice has been going on for almost a
year until I found someone who finally diagnosed me properly. PET scan is 6/13.

Plus I'd like to thank everyone for their well wishes, thoughts, & advice.

On a lighter note, when the RN came around to check on me if I had woken up yet, she grabbed my chart
and asked "What's your full name & address?" So I gave her my name & "1600 Pennsylvania Avenue",
she gave me a puzzled look like I wasn't all there yet, then added "I'd been better than trump" to which
she giggled and stated "So would my 15 year old" Believe I was talking to a Democrat.

And for those of you who could use more smiles........

I'm having surgery in the morning

Been slowly losing my voice, Ear Nose & Throat Doctor found the problem last week, I have a cyst on my
vocal chords. Doc said they'd "cut my head off, scrap everything clean and glue my head back on." after
I'd asked about the procedure, so I replied with the only decent answer, "Hope they get it on straight
this time"

Seriously, he said the surgeon he recommended would put me under and "probably" use a laser. I've only been
"put under" once in my life after a head-on car crash (not my fault) 30 years ago so I'm a little nervous.
I'm to be at the hospital at 8:30 so I'm guessing around 9:30 will be the actual operation, have no idea if
they'll keep me overnight.

E,N & T Doc said to refrain from talking for 2 weeks after the operation, told my friends to "Enjoy the silence"
Wish me good luck.

The gun control proposals the U.S. House will consider

Democrats on the U.S. House Judiciary Committee have unveiled a gun control legislative package
that they plan to mark up Thursday morning. The package, named the Protecting Our Kids Act, is made up
of eight bills related to gun control, all first introduced in 2021 by Democratic lawmakers. Only one had any
Republican co-sponsors, and it’s unlikely the package will find much GOP support.

Here are the eight bills combined in the House Judiciary package:

1) H.R.3015: Raise the Age Act

This bill would prohibit the sale of certain semiautomatic rifles to anyone under 21. Currently,
a person needs to be 18 to purchase one.

2) H.R. 2280: Prevent Gun Trafficking Act

This bill would establish a new federal penalty for gun trafficking, which could range from a fine to up to 10 years
in prison. The bill also allows for the seizure of firearms and ammunition involved in the offense.

3) H.R. 3088: The Untraceable Firearms Act

This bill aims to curb ghost guns, which are homemade guns that lack a serial number, making it difficult for law
enforcement to trace the owner of the weapon if it’s found at a crime scene. The Biden administration directed
the Justice Department to issue a final rule to ban manufacturers from making ghost gun kits.

4) H.R. 748: Ethan’s Law

This bill aims to regulate the storage of firearms, particularly in homes with children, by setting federal, state and
tribal requirements. The bill establishes “requirements for firearms on residential premises to be safely stored if a
minor is likely to gain access without permission or if a resident is ineligible to possess a firearm.”

5) H.R. 6370: The Safe Guns, Safe Kids Act

This bill would establish federal requirements for the storage of firearms on residential properties. The bill would
make it unlawful if a person who has a firearm “knows, or reasonably should know, that a minor is likely to gain
access to the firearm without the permission of the parent or guardian,” and if “a minor obtains the firearm and
uses the firearm in the commission of a crime or causes injury or death to such minor, or any other individual.”

6) H.R. 130: The Kimberly Vaughan Firearm Safe Storage Act

This bill would establish federal requirements for firearms and ammunition on residential properties by requiring
firearms and ammunition to be safely stored if a minor is likely to gain access without permission to the firearm.

7) H.R. 5427: Closing the Bump Stock Loophole Act

This bill would classify bump stocks as machine guns and require them to be registered under the National
Firearms Act and prevents the manufacture, sale, or possession of new bump stocks for civilian use.

8) H.R. 2510: The Keep Americans Safe Act

This bill would make it unlawful for the import, sale, manufacture, transfer or possession of a large capacity
ammunition feeding device, which can be a magazine, belt, drum, feed strip, or similar device that has a capacity
of more than 10 rounds of ammunition. However, the bill allows existing magazines to be “grandfathered” in,
so they can still be held in possession, but prohibits the sale or transfer of “grandfathered” large capacity
ammunition feeding devices.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, a Maryland Democrat, said on Twitter that the House separately will take
up Georgia Democratic Rep. Lucy McBath’s “red flag” bill this month.

Not as much as I was hoping for, maybe after the midterms.
