11. I can't make it either.

Jun 13

I just had my post-hospital follow up appointment with my primary care physician and picked up my prescriptions. The nearest rally is about 50 miles away or I could catch a bus to the rally in Houston, but 5:15 a.m. is way too early for a bus ride. I also think that I would be a sitting duck being in a wheelchair if the situation turned ugly.

Take care of yourself.
