Thursday may be in play, but there needs to be some serious, hard core, indisputable proof on this matter before FReepers and others run off to the media with phone calls, emails, letters to the editor, etc... on this.
At best, the "Kerry compatible" version has Reeve yakking on the phone on the same day he had severe bedsores, a heart attack, and a coma.
Is it more plausible he went from spending his remaining minutes of alertness on leaving Kerry a puffy phone message, or do you think he was more focused on, say, taking his next breath, if he was conscious at all.
Speaking of which, it is very difficult to speak while a machine is breathing for you, even if you are otherwise doing fine, which, evidently, he wasn't.
Another thing to consider is that Kerry said he heard the message on Saturday on his cell phone. That doesn't mean Reeve left the message Saturday.
