NPR says this time we get a MUGSHOT.
Sweeet! GA rules are quite a lot different than the Feds. I loved the camera following the clerk last night. I get the full transparency thing, but really don't like the grand jury members' names being disclosed. Yikes.

I understand GA trials are televised. It’s probably too much to ask that TFG would be led in in an orange jumpsuit and handcuffs, but I can dream.

I've had that same dream!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
Epic, is it possible to get any real rest during the treatment?
Yes and no. We've got bunks, and pillows, so we can stretch out and nap. But we have these hood things (for the oxygen) and they have these enormous collars around our necks (to ensure that it's pretty much airtight) so it's sometimes hard to get comfortable. Then the whole procedure is about 2 hours, but first it's 10-15 minutes getting to pressure, which for some reason (I asked, but didn't fully comprehend the answer) gets so hot and humid. Then they put the hoods on, but it's 30 minutes on, then 5 with it off, then 30 on ... 3 times, so even if you were napping you'd be wakened when they take the hood off. I can sometimes doze a little bit, but it's not real restful.
Epic, every day is a LOT and for two months... How many have you done so far?
I think my last one was 21. So I'm just over halfway done. The good news is that everyone says that the second half (of the 40 treatments) is when you really start to see results. So hopefully I'll be seeing some improvement soon.

I do hope you will see good results soon.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Wow, Epic, that sounds like kind of an ordeal but so fascinating! I hope it does what it is supposed to do.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

All of that! Yikes!

Tim’s ultrasound is all clear. We’re waiting to see if the doctor wants to prescribe a diuretic. And then we’re getting Mediterranean food for lunch.
