Surviving a pulmonary embolism

Dear Editor, On Saturday, Oct. 2 I had to go to the hospital emergency room. The prior Tuesday I had an unusual leg spasm from my left thigh to my groin area. I’ve had pulled muscles from sports off and on and thought it was from exercise or just sitting weird in my recliner.  By later Wednesday, I noticed an occasional cough that felt strange.

Response to Lloyd Dickson’s letter of 11/17

Dear Editor, Mr. Dickson, you missed my points, which were as follows: Anyone who believes that your Socialist government is going to relegate additional taxes to folks making $400k or more IS drinking the Blue Koolaid. Ditto for anyone who can justify the level of surveillance said government wants us to believe benefits us all. 85,000 new IRS agents? Right!
