27. Not going to wish anything bad for him on this

Thu Jan 19, 2023, 02:22 PM

Jan 2023

Can't do it.

My sister fell 12 feet off of a ladder, compound fracture in the leg and shattered her ankle. Multiple surgeries and a stubborn bone infection. Her veteran's health insurance didn't want to pay to put her ankle back together again. She had to fight all kinds of battles: physical and administrative.

She didn't walk for 14 months.

I won't wish that stuff on ANYONE.

I'm well aware that the GOPers are often the reason why our veterans (and a lot of other people) don't get the care they need. I'm still not going to delight in this misfortune. I hope he gets what he needs and heals quickly. (And then of course, I hope he has a revelation and changes his tune on some things.)
