First I heard of this, what a ridiculous rule change!

It's hard not to see it as a violation of freedom of (from) religion. There will be many "me too" suits by other nonprofits...

U.S. — In a shocking exposé that threatened to topple the presidential administration, the Wall Street Journal revealed that Donald Trump once wrote "BOOBS" on a calculator and showed it to Jeffrey Epstein.

In the scandalous report, the WSJ details a date back in 2003 in which Trump bumped into the infamous Epstein and asked to show him "a little trick" he learned back in school. What allegedly took place thereafter sent shockwaves through the nation's capital.

Trump immediately and adamantly denied the authenticity of the report. "Absolutely FALSE!" he said in a post on Truth Social. "The Wall Street Journal, which is a filthy rag of a publication, has published an obviously untrue report about me showing Epstein a calculator that said ‘BOOBS' on it. This is totally FAKE. This is not what I do. I have never even used a calculator. I do all of my math in my head. That's how powerful my brain is. I told them not to run this story, but they did it anyway. Now, they'll face the consequences. FAKE NEWS!"

Actually, I can't believe this isn't more of an issue. That level of fluid retention is flat out deadly.

When I was 42, my ankles looked like this. I had no idea why and I wasn’t in bad shape. Hell, I was still lifting 6 days a week. The CHF finally caught up to me and I was getting winded just putting on a tie every morning. Long story short, I started taking Lasix when I FINALLY went to a doctor and I lost 28 pounds in 3 weeks. It really is a modern-day miracle I’m alive.

Good for you! And yeah, CHF was the first thing that I thought after seeing Trump's ankles.

After I had common femoral grafts on both legs, followed by E. coli infections in both, I had to spend three months tethered to a negative pressure wound pump. I had several months of PT, because I had developed lymphedema and my legs were double normal size. I also had to have daily antibiotics through a port. I finally went to Mayo. I did learn new techniques there, which help. However, they declined the bypass surgery I wanted, mostly on my age, 80 at the time. Now, I have moderate swelling in my left, which needs hip replacement, and none in my right. I do wear compression stockings every day...

For a minute there, I thought this was what I was headed for. Thankfully, my new cardiologist (at the time) jumped all over it. I've stuck with him ever since. By all rights, I shouldn't be here, but I am. I'm 50 now and after a small setback this past September, I'm back on track. The other day, I did something I swore I would never do: I bought an Apple Watch. Not only can this thing accurately tell me my BPM, it can actually detect heart rhythm. I call that $400 worth.

Anyway, stay on top of things because if I haven't learned anything else, I've learned this: things can go south VERY quickly. The difference between living and dying can be literal seconds. I'm still pretty new to praying, but I'll definitely keep you in mine.

Well, I appreciate that. I've found out that I have hundreds, maybe thousands praying for me. In a recent column, Sean Dietrich pulled out the stats which show that patients who have people praying for them do better, whether they know it or not. In the last six months, I've had a spiritual reawakening myself.

My first 50 years of my life, I lived as an adrenalin junkie - never so alive as when I was an inch from death. Finally, it culminated in running the Five Falls on the Chatooga at flood. I won't describe it because only old kayakers, like 92, would understand. When we hit the slack water of Lake Tugaloo at the bottom, the kayak leader of the raft company I was bumming a ride with, paddled over and said "You may be 50, but you still have it." That was 35 years ago. Now, fortunately, my wife had already started her hike up Mouse Creek Trail, so she didn't witness my desperate self-rescues. But, that day, my life changed. To myself, I thought "this is not fair to Liz, risking my life this way." So I changed. The only paddling since then has been canoe-camping with her, primarily in the BWCA and Canada. I won't say I've done nothing risky since then, or things onlookers might see that way, but only when I've had the risks reasonable and under my control. Maybe I should exclude airline flights...

My daughter's fiance has some form of epilepsy. He got an Apple watch because there are apps that can detect seizures and call emergency services automatically.
