I’m 8 months post TKR revision and about to hit a 200 day streak on Peloton. Started Peloton personal training 3 months ago and have consistently been doing 3-4 hours of strength training per week. Feeling stronger than ever these days!!

Debating removing my port and j tube. I still do IV antibiotics once or twice a year but might just prefer a picc vs replacing this port. Never use my j tube anymore just said I’d never get rid of it since it was so painful to get but I’m almost 8 years post transplant and so healthy now….

A little more than 3 months out from TKR revision. Super proud that I’ve been active 55 days in a row on Peloton doing strength classes. Considering hopping back on the bike again!

The reason why I'm so angry has a lot to do with the lives that will be lost — people are absolutely going to die as a direct result of Senate Democrats folding on health care. It also has a lot to do with the suffering that was endured — people were struggling to get by without food assistance. 🧵

If you think Medicaid cuts won't impact you because you have private health insurance, you are wrong. Expect these cuts to increase your premiums.

The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.

No mother should die in childbirth but some women are more likely to. Rates of postpartum hemorrhage and maternal death are much higher in Black women. And race is a social construct so this is not biological. Racism (systemic) is the risk factor. #ISTH2025

CHP continues to block most exits/entrances to the 101, as they have for the past week, since protesters were on the 101 South last weekend. The freeway is a main route into Dowtown and near the East LA interchange, a major route for commuters, regardless if they're protesters or not.

The deployment of federalized National Guard troops to California, without consent from local or state officials, is deeply troubling. These are tactics seen in authoritarian regimes, not in America. We want to be clear, the military should not be used to police civilians.

Just like in the parks, safety comes first. - Stay with your group - Follow the signs (or in this case, the facts) - Leave no one behind - Document everything - Don’t engage alone

Sharing this tonight for those in LA and for future protesters everywhere
a tweet from Dr. Glaucomflecken

For all protesters, pepper spray is oil based. If you get sprayed DO NOT rub your eyes. Immediately blink as much as you can to wash out skme of the oil sith your own tears. Then, wash your eyes with baby shampoo and rinse with water. Be safe.

There are a LOT of sickening revelations about Blue Cross in here but I want to highlight that they found while Blue Cross denied payments for thousands of breast reconstruction procedures they approved special deals on those procedures for executives’ wives.
