June Was Deadliest Month for U.S. Troops in Iraq in 3 Years: Michelle Obama Didn’t Know U.S. Troops Were Still in Iraq

From Andrew Breitbart's Big Peace...........

The New York Times recently reported that June was the deadliest month in 3 years for U.S. troops fighting in Iraq. (To the families of those who were lost, I can never express to you the pride I take in fact that they gave their lives for this country.)

Ironically, it appears Michelle Obama, First Lady of the U.S., wasn’t even aware we still had troops in Iraq. I make this point based on a speech she gave at fundraiser in California a few weeks ago wherein she listed reasons we should give her husband a second term, and one of the reasons was “the withdrawal of troops from overseas.” (Again, I am treading lightly here because I would never want to seem to be making light of a soldier’s sacrifice; and especially a soldier’s death in combat. But it is simply asinine that this woman – speaking during the month of June 2011 – was bragging about how her husband had supposedly brought the troops home from overseas, all the while June 2011 was shaping up to be the deadliest month for our troops overseas [in Iraq] since 2008.).

Staples out and a new look

I told you I would let you know about the staples coming out of my belly! It took about 15 minutes. It was a metallic sound for each one. The ones really close to the belly button did hurt a little bit and I could feel the strain as the nurse cut them but it wasn't as bad as I thought it might be.
I finally found the template that doesn't cut my ribbons off on the right side(as viewed). So I think I will stay with this one. Bet it was making some of you wonder, wasn't it? I am having fun with it ya know.

Hospital routine

The best part was cable TV. I was on the clear diet for chow........Jello, broth, tea and coffee. The best part was the coffee. And young student nurses doing the vitals and such during the day. On the second day the cathater finally came out and I could pee in a relief bottle! They had to keep track of how much and how often. Isn't that exciting! And the dressing came off. First look at the ugly! I have never had staples before, unique sensation when brushed by clothing. And the doc came by and said everything was cool and we were waiting on the pathology. The other lab stuff said that so far so good. In case you are wondering, there is no sensation of the kidney being gone. Really. None. Nada. Oh did I mention the magic button? Yeah, the belly still hurt, alot at times. Then they decided to pull the IVs and go with pills, Percosette!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Say hello to my little friends!!!!!!!!!!! The third day, Wednesday was basically uneventful, I slept on and off, watched alot of Discovery Channel, TLC, A&E, History Channel and Fox News. And more jello and broth for meals. The missus said everyone had gotten back home after the wedding of the number two son. She had her hands full for awhile with a house full of company and me going in for surgery, so her visit was short and sweet. I told her to go home and sack out. She had a very busy and stressfull period with doing the wedding cake, company coming and me. She deifinitely needed the day to herself. And shortly after I sacked out for the night, I was awakened to do the vitals and meds! I told them to just take the BP and to do the temp with an ear probe and wait till morning for the meds. Not impressed. And I did take an unassisted walk around the square made by the elevators and nurses station! The best description is way too many sit-ups! Getting to the vertical was a bit of a chore.
More goodness to follow tomorrow, if it suits me.
