Finally a small bit of advice from me: tell your friends and your family that you love them. Life is short.
The Wife's Bestie here. It is with a heavy heart that I must report that Victoria passed away yesterday morning. It was a gentle and peaceful ending to her long fight against cancer. She loved her X community and I hope she will be remembered here. Please remember her in your prayers.
#CancerUpdate on Victoria from The Wife's Bestie. V is showing improvement. Pain management. Awake. Had a chest tube inserted to drain fluid from her lung. Ghastly. She wants people to pray/send healing thoughts as she believes in that. Reading posts to her as I can. Thank you.
#CancerUpdate on Victoria from The Wife's Bestie, the ONLY person to speak about her. V is back on high dose pain meds. She has pneumonia in both lungs and she is still septic. But she is getting THE best care. Prayers/healing thoughts needed. We want to save her life. Thanks.
Just reiterating here that literally 80% of US meds come from China, India, Canada and other countries. This part will kill a lot of people. Nearly every medical device is made elsewhere. #Cancer patients are at high risk.
I write a lot about destructive things and I don't remember being so anxious about a threat since covid. I follow supply chains, maritime traffic, and port complexes for my security work. The ports are now quiet; the supply chain is sinking. Upcoming in @theatlantic.
New #CancerUpdate. From The Wife's Bestie. Victoria had a very bad night. She will need a very instense procedure. And of course the docs have cut her pain meds back. She is in tears, poor thing. Healing thoughts and prayers needed. Thanks very much.
