Jimminy, that's hot!!

Cooldown any time soon?

Saw Dr Ortho yesterday. I honestly didn't expect much ... maybe he would put in for a test for X-rays and then reschedule for another visit and blah blah blah....

Turns out, the ortho dept has their own X-ray machine - who knew? - and the reason why I had to go in at stupid o'clock was to have a series of knee X-rays done. Then Dr Resident tested my knees for stability, and Dr Ortho came in, looked at my X-rays and said I had arthritis in my left knee. Asked if I was looking for a knee replacement... HECK NO!! ... and asked if I was willing to get a cortisone shot in my knee.

YEAH MAN, SHOOT ME UP!

So, that's what happened. They take a long sturdy needle and go under the kneecap. I gotta say, it felt weird, and since it was a pretty high volume my knee felt full, but now that the stuff has distributed my knee feels better and the pain is 90% gone.

And I was so sure it was a tendon problem! But seeing as arthritis gallops thru my family, and I have arthritis pretty much everywhere else, I shouldn't be surprised.

I like Dr Ortho. He answered all my questions (No, compression knee sleeves don't work. Yes, better shoes and orthotics could help. Yes, right here in the Xray is where you see arthritis.) wants the dog to keep taking me for walks, offered injections every 3 months if necessary, and even gave me his non-offuce number so he could squeeze me in for shots if I needed them.

Plus I really like his attitude of getting more "mileage" out of my knees, bc that's what I want too.

Back to being more functional!

Appeals Court Nukes Boasberg's Contempt Order In Trump Admin Deportations Case

Earlier this year, Boasberg said he found probable cause to hold the administration in contempt because it purportedly violated his orders to halt deportations under the Alien Enemies Act.

However in a 2–1 decision on Friday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit indicated that Boasberg went too far. Judge Gregory Katsas said that one of Boasberg’s orders could have been read in different ways.

... [therefore] "the government’s initial implementation of the proclamation clearly and indisputably was not criminal."

... Judge Neomi Rao described Boasberg’s decision as an “egregious” abuse of the court’s contempt power and said Boasberg had lost the authority to try and “coerce compliance” with his original order. That’s because his initial halts on the deportations had been vacated by the Supreme Court in another decision from April.

Oh, I got it. I can't account for the budget. Maybe that includes maintenance of all those national monuments and Federal Buildings? Security of Federal Buildings, security for anticipated events like protests etc? I don't know.
Even so, it seems like a lot.
