his post office life, makes you want to scream at the grifting piece of shit in there now.
Imagine how much better off we all are if he wins again and keeps that idiot Raygun out of office.

somehow keeps ticking. What a great man.

Maybe he can use a wheelchair some instead of walking all the time. If that keeps him among us much longer, no one that saw his presidency and post presidency life would care one bit about how he gets around.

All I can do is hope for the best for him, his family and all of us who love him too. And I don't see an imogee thingy for hope.

(6,602 posts)10. I've had a serious concussion. I've had swelling of my brain.
I lost 2+ weeks of memories, just gone. Afterward I remember spending days laying on the couch looking around the room & trying to remember the names of ordinary objects, like a lamp, or a chair, a rug, a window. Some were a real struggle. It took me a week+ to remember the name of baseboard. Even later, when I went through neurological evaluations I looked at a picture of a seahorse (during the "flashcard" test) & called it a starfish. It was the only one I got wrong & I immediately knew it was wrong, but that connection in my brain between the image & the name had been damaged & I had to rebuild it.
And that was with no bleeding. Swelling of the brain tissue, yes. I had that pressure & that vertigo & that "swoosing" sound inside my head every time I moved, for months, until the swelling went down. But once there's bleeding, the whole situation is much, much more serious.
I really hope Jimmy survives this...
