The events happening in Washington, D.C. since the inauguration are very alaming to me because Medicare and Supplimental are what pay for my three times weekly dialysis treatments. Without these payments, I can’t afford the treatments. Without the treatments, I die. Medicare is one of the programs Republicans regularly try to end or privatize. The way to do this is based on the U.S. Constitutional process by the elected Legislative branch, not the unconstitutional, illegal chainsaw approach of the new president. Oh yeah, without dialysis, I bloat out, my organs are crushed by fluid buildup in the tissues, and I suffer death by an overloaded heart. Friends who voted for the current president voted for someone who would do something about the price of gas and eggs or because of their sincere belief about abortion, in most cases. Reducing government spending, too, is a traditional Republican principle. Well, to quote the Biblical quote quoted in the film, “he who troubles his own house shall inherit the wind.” I hope it happens before I die.

I was very tired after dialysis yesterday. After medicating Andy a little after 1:00 pm, I went to bed. I woke up a little after 11 pm. Sleeping 10 hours these days is indicative of the stress, worry, existential fear of my country’s political situation, I feel these days.
