Surgery Today!

Today is the day! In just a few hours, I will be getting my root canal, and it would not have been possible without your help. Thank you  to everyone who has linked, tweeted, prayed, and hit my tip jar.

Stand Against Evil - Never Let it Win

Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
by the Divine Power of God,
cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.

I'm Getting Root Canal, Hooray!

If you have not read my last post, you might think it odd that I am rejoicing at the fact that I am getting root canal surgery, but I need it badly and it had been completely out of my reach until a legion of internet angels of mercy came to my rescue.

Thank you to everyone who responded to my medical emergency bleg by linking, Tweeting, Tip Jar Hitting, and by offering kind words and prayers for me. As of this evening, it looks like I'll be able to get the root canal which will save my three teeth rather than the cheaper surgery which would have forced me to sacrifice them, barring any further complications, I should have enough to cover it now - thanks to all of you.  I am absolutely overwhelmed with gratitude for the outpouring of love and generosity that has been bestowed upon me by the Right Blogosphere. May the good Lord richly bless each and every one of you.

The antibiotics appear to finally be working as I have experienced some moments of relief before the pain comes roaring back an hour or so before my next dose it due. I have developed an upper respiratory infection that has me feeling pretty crummy and my weakened system has made my chronic nerve pain condition decide to blow up and join the party of pain so my bones hurt a lot, but my heart is happy and the haze is finally beginning to lift from my mind. I am tired, but it is time to rejoin the world, and I have a lot of catching up to do!

Blegging for Emergency Oral Surgery - UPDATE - Worse Than I Thought It Would Be

Please forgive me if this post veers into incoherence, I will try to get through it before the minimal amount of relief from massive amounts of analgesics and topical anesthetics wears off.

Grover Norquist's Islamic Supremacist Chickens Come Home to Roost

If you scratch the surface of any "Republican" who claims that "islam is a religion of peace", who denies that there is a growing threat to our security and freedom from islamic supremacist conquest of the West, odds are, you will find links to Grover Norquist. The anti-jihad movement has been raising the alarm about him for years, but they have been either dismissed, ignored, or demonized for doing so. However, members of Congress can no longer pretend that they don't know.
