Oma's First Leqembi Infusion

 
Recently, Oma was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Luckily, there is a new drug that does all but cure the disease! In fact it completely stops any progression and starts dialing back the dementia. It is a long process to be approved for this drug which is an IV infusion every 2 weeks for the rest of the person's life. ... I should also mention that there is an mri every month as well as a neurologist appointment. Quite an intrusive treatment! But Oma was approved and doesn't have to pay a cent due to Medicare!  Here she is getting her first infusion.  I am happy to report that there would be no side effects and it worked like a charm!

"They're eating the dogs! They're eating the cats! They're eating the pets!" -- Donald Trump

There was only one presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. During the debate, Donald Trump insists that Haitian immigrants are eating dogs cats and pets. This was one of his famous lies. How could this man ever become president again?  As a result of the debate, there was so much humor on the internet. Below is just one example. It is a take on the don't tread on me flag that the  Republican Maga party flies.  The original flag is yellow with a snake in the middle that says don't tread on me.

Mountain State Fair 2024 with Annie


This was the first year since 2008 that neither Annie nor Leia entered anything in the fair. I tried HARD to get Annie to enter some of her pottery or photography. Her pottery is SO amazing, as documented in the blog. Annie told me.she might enter a few of her best pieces next year. SHE SHOULD! So, I am hoping this picture of Brian and Annie looking at entries in the expo center isn't the end of an era.

The Christ of the Shroud of Turin

Using new technology, scientists used the Shroud of Turin to determine the face of our Lord. I'm saving this to the blog in case Leia & Annie might be interested in a non-culturally appropriated face of Jesus, possibly the closest to His real countenance.
