Good morning!
Spoke with Doc yesterday on phone. He said that klikely was a combination of the anesthesia still working its way out as it was pretty potent plus some of the oxycodone.

I have had reduced the strength of the oxy(percocet) and have increased intervals between to six hours.

Am more clear headed today but still trying to regain body strength. I am defintiely up walking more and putting more weight on my right leg and using it more normally while holding on to my walker.

So its now a matter of time and work. You were correct..

I was enlightened to the acheivements by some really great Americans from centuries in the past who invented and made impactfull contributions to the growth of our country.
What I do not like is 'in your face" jamming something down my throat I am not particularly interested in and being forced to look at it.. I do not care who or what it is.

One of the things I particularly like about some great WW2 black military men who really made a huge difference in the air wars in Europe were the Tuskegee Airmen who persevered and overcame extreme prejudice and demonstrated they could fly better than anyone gave them credit for and outperform the enemy flyers while protecting our bombers.
These were educated young Black men who had extreme skills and were really great at what they did. They finally earned the right to pilot P51 Mustangs and with those, they were unbeatable.

I like reading FACTS on my own and not opinions when I want to read them and not have somebody throw stuff forcefuly in my face.

I suppose most everyone else is like that but that is how I am and feel and yes, I like real history that has people who happen to have darker skin color than my own and accomplished amazing feats or inventions for the good of all society. These people should be honored for their works and moving forward for the better our society, our country and way of life.

Jeopardy College Tournament

I watched today's episodes of the Jeopardy College Tournament. In the first round of the first game, one of the categories was "Aquarians." Partway through, I commented to my wife, "This category is all black!" And I believe it was, though I haven't been able to find an archive of the questions with which to verify it.

Then, in the second round, one of the categories was "Black Americans." I couldn't believe it.

One contestant ran both of these categories and was beating the other two contestants after that second black category by a score of about $10,000 to $2,000 to $3,000. She was, of course, black. And she was from the all-black Howard University. And she went on to finish THIRD as there were no other categories that she was very strong in.

I'm sure she is going to go on to greatness, maybe with a doctorate in Black Studies.

This was the most blatant, condescending thing I've ever seen on Jeopardy, as there was NO WAY those categories were randomly chosen for that game. It was cheating, pure and simple. If you add up the dollar value of those two categories, they amount to $9,000 (of the $10,000 the chick had when she was done with them.)

The cheating still didn't get the desired student into the next round of the tournament. Black viewers will, no doubt, have tantrums, maybe throwing bricks through Jeopardy's studio windows before finding out tomorrow that those were actually dressing room windows for the hosts of 'The View.'
