DUmmie FUnnies 06-09-05 ("How is Andy doing?")

DUmmie FUnnies ^ | June 9, 2005 | Andy Stephenson, DUmmies, and PJ-Comix

[PJ-Comix]

The first thing I did when I saw this DUmmie THREAD titled, “How is Andy doing?” at 6:50 AM this morning was enter “cancer” into the FIND function and guess what? NO mention of cancer at all on the entire page. You know if Scamdy had pancreatic CANCER it would have been mentioned at least ONCE (although they might toss that word in the thread AFTER reading this edition of the DUFUs). Therefore, if Scamdy did NOT have cancer what was the reason he went to Johns Hopkins in the first place? He could have had regular pancreatic surgery done in his home state of Washington without any need to shill for $50,000+. I put the PLUS sign in there because since Skinner had absolutely NO ACCOUNTING of the Scamdy money taken in, that figure could be well in excess of $50,000. Since Scamdy had his appeal going on OVER a hundred other Leftist websites, it is a good chance that he pocketed a SIZABLE chunk of change over and above what it cost him for mere (non-cancerous) pancreatic surgery. One interesting thing about this thread is not ONE word from Sknner or Pied Piper Pitt since they are both hoping that Scamdy just go away. Somehow Scamdy seems to have a bizarre hold over both of them. So let us now enter this Dummieland thread where all thought of Scamdy’s supposed cancer is tossed down the Memory Pitt in Bolshevik Red while the commentary of your humble correspondent, who thinks Scamdy is just $10 away from mentioning “cancer,” is in the [brackets]:

How is Andy doing?

[Wonderfully. Scamdy is recuperating quickly from ROUTINE non-cancerous pancreatic surgery. Thanks to all the money he raked in over and above what was needed for the unnecessary Johns Hopkins operation, Scamdy has more than enough to enjoy a great recuperation period in the Caribbean.]

I assume we are allowed to ask that again. How is he feeling?

[Be careful how you ask that. If you ask why he went to Johns Hopkins unnecessarily because he did NOT have pancreatic cancer, you will probably be tombstoned.]

Well lets see...The incision is still tender...but my appetite is coming back and I am regaining more of my strength every day. I got back home late last night and it was awesome to sleep in my own bed again. Thanks for asking and for the concern! It has meant so much to me what DU has done for me. You all rock. I still have another pahse of treatment but the doctor is confident I will make a full recovery. Mentally I am in that space and truly, I am feeling better everyday.

[Recuperation from NON-CANCEROUS pancreatic surgery is fairly rapid, Scamdy. BTW, why no thank you to all the suckers you conned for a Johns Hopkins pancreatic cancer operation that you did NOT need?]

Hey, man, you oughta be in bed asleep, regaining your strength. It's great to hear from you, and I'm thrilled you're posting. Keep up with vitamins and good fruits and veggies, and drink only distilled water. I am so serious about this. We all love ya, dear. Keep posting, you make us all feel so good inside.

[Make us feel so good inside and let us believe that you really did need that money we wasted on you to go to Johns Hopkins for a pancreatic cancer operation that you did NOT need.]

I have slept alot over the last 2 weeks. today I felt the best I have since surgery. Like I say my strength is coming back more and more each day.

[You’ve certainly slept a lot better than Pied Piper Pitt, Scamdy. He is so worried sick about how you used him to put over an enormous con for a pancreatic cancer operation that you did NOT need, that he hasn’t slept since April.]

This is wonderful news! I'm glad to hear that you're up and about!

[Yes, this is wonderful news. Thank God Scamdy never had pancreatic cancer in the first place. If he did, he would probably still be flat on his back instead of being his chipper self and singing Broadway show tunes over the cell phone from his ICU.]

HI, Andy! Glad to hear you're back home and getting better! Appetite is a good sign...

[Scamdy can now afford to go to Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse on an almost daily basis thanx to all that money you folks sent him for an unnecessary Johns Hopkins pancreatic cancer operation which did NOT take place.]

Yes it is...although I have found my tastes have changed...for example. I used to love tomatoes...now they taste like straw and celery is peach sweet to me. Apparently that is one of the side effects of pancreatic surgery...changed taste buds.

[I bet Roast DUmmie suckerling tastes mighty sweet to you, Scamdy.]

pineapple and papaya are the best for you and not cooked, either. you gotta keep your weight up, my dear.

[Actually, Scamdy could stand to LOSE a few pounds since he is about to enter the Guinness Book of Records as the FATTEST “pancreatic cancer” patient in history.]

Somebody used to tell me that carrot juice was really really good for you. Good to hear you're doing well, Andy! Keep it up!

[Scamdy prefers Yellow-bellied Sapsucker.]

I am eating like a madman the last couple of days in fact I ate dinner and I am hungry again.

[Yeah, all that “chemotherapy” is giving you quite an appetite, Scamdy.]

for example tonight I had real turkey breast sliced on a tortilla with roasted red peppers lettuce and dijon mustard. It was yummmmmmy. For breakfast I had 9 grain bread with grits and 2 eggs.

[Don’t hold back. Pig out at your local buffet, Scamdy. After all it is well known that pancreatic cancer patients develop quite an appetite.]

Well Joan Krawitz is honorable and I think Ms Harris' troubles are just beginning. But I am not going to focus on her. My job right now is to get well...that is where my focus must and will be.

[Methinks YOUR troubles are just beginning, Scamdy. I am sure there will be an investigation into YOUR fraud. Your job right now is to use those enormous funds you scammed to hire a good defense attorney.]

Is it very nice to hear the good news! And I am glad it all worked out in terms of getting great treatment. You gave of yourself and that inspired others to take care of your best interest.

[The ease with which Scamdy conned the DUmmies out of $50,000 for pancreatic cancer operation at Johns Hopkins which NEVER took place will certainly inspire other con artists to enter DUmmieland.]

Hint from a recent surgery patient: Get a neosporin scar patch at the pharmacy. I had a hysterectomy last year and my scar is 100% gone! This is an amazing product.

[Don’t give Scamdy any ideas. He might end up hitting on the DUmmies for another $50,000 for a hysterectomy operation.]

Hey I have ICU and scar pics... I just don't want them posted on that website. you know the one I mean.

[DUmmie FUnnies or Scamdy.Com?]

Wow, Andy, it is TOO good to hear from you....And sounding so chipper, too!! Glad you are coming out of this. I knew you'd beat this thing.

[Careful…careful. It is okay to use the vague term “thing” but DON’T use the word “cancer” or it could mean your tombstoning.]

Andy, this is wonderful to hear! Nothing like being back at home too. Lots of rest now, heal up, and yep, be in the place where you'll be after the next phase of treatment.

[Scamdy’s next phase of treatment will be sun & sea therapy in the Caribbean.]

I have a couple of rounds of chemo and radiation to go through...but the doctor said I should be fine.

[Please send money for unnecessary chemo and radiation that needs to follow the non-existent pancreatic cancer operation.]

Good to see you back!! Now, close your eyes and visualize. a complete recovery and perfect health! I'm serious, it works

[It sure does. Obvious scams ALWAYS work in Dummieland.]

I have been doing that. I am using a screen nightly to screen all the bad stuff from my body. I know visualizations work...

[Scamdy is now in the process of visualizing another reality of a Dummieland scam.]

OK good night everyone...I am going to lay down and rest.

[Meanwhile, one the other side of the continent from Scamdy, Pied Piper Pitt is lying awake worrying about his defense plea when he is charged with aiding and abetting Scamdy.]

[SCALEMAN]

I did find out some information about partial intestine removal

I know that portions of the small intestine can be removed and re-sectioned, but the post says 'had his small intestine removed'. If he actually said that is it the biggest lie or misstatement in history.

[franksolich]

Since it's obviously possible to have two gallbladders--as in the case of the miracle man--one wonders if the red round one might also have two large intestines, then.

After all, it does seem a lot of chow and adult beverages, none of it good for diabetes, goes through his system.

[imskylark]

"Loss of pancreatic tissue after surgical removal increases the risks for the development of diabetes mellitus "

Great info Cal! After the surgery, didn't Andy state that he no longer had diabetes? Seems strange considering the above statement.

[CAluvdubya]

See my post #464. I apologize because I misspoke. I did go back and listen to Andy. He said "part" of his intestines were removed.

I also found this about his surgery. That boy is not flying anywhere if he had this kind of surgery.

Detailed Guide: Pancreatic Cancer Surgery Pancreatic cancer surgery is one of the most difficult operations a surgeon can do. It is also one of hardest for patients to undergo. The postoperative recovery is very slow, there may be many complications and it may take several weeks for patients to recover; therefore, patients need to think about the potential benefits and risks of such surgery.

I will say that many years ago, my mother had a duodenum ulcer. She had part of her stomach removed. There were tubes inserted for drainage for several weeks. Recovery was extremely slow and her diet was changed forever! She was allowed to eat only easy to digest foods.

[SCALEMAN]

Hey Andy !! We know you are reading this. Will you please tell us if you have any more duplicate organs ? If you would just list them, it would save us a good amount of time trying to figure out your anatomy.

[CAluvdubya]

I forgot to provide the link for my last post:

Pancreatic Surgery

[imskylark]

"Since it's obviously possible to have two gallbladders"

My brother had 2 spleens. They went in to remove his ruptured spleen and found another right behind it.

[SCALEMAN]

"Loss of pancreatic tissue after surgical removal increases the risks for the development of diabetes mellitus

Sometimes referred to as 'surgical diabetes'. It would depend upon the amount of pancreatic tissue removed, whether he developed it or not. I had a friend who was at one time in his youth a bull rider. The cumulative damage from this (along with copious amounts of alcohol consumption) required the removal of his pancreas and spleen, along with a lobe of his liver. He now has a permanent insulin pump.

[franksolich]

Now wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

I've been fortunate and never been afflicted by this thing before, but how is it possible to "no longer have diabetes" after one has had it?

I thought once one had diabetes, he had it forever.

That is, unless the round red one had made a side-trip to Lourdes.

If the DUmmies, misled by the Andyites believe this, then we got a real problem here.

[imskylark]

"It would depend upon the amount of pancreatic tissue removed, whether he developed it or not."

I only question it because he has stated that he is a diabetic but after the surgery stated that he no longer will have diabetes.

[Amityschild]

AND Pitt thinks he's very very handsome. Huge turn off.

[imskylark]

"I thought once one had diabetes, he had it forever. "

Does anyone else remember him posting after his surgery that he no longer has diabetes? Maybe I'm wrong but I remember reading that and it stuck out in my memory because I am hypoglycemic and had gestational diabetes 3 times.

[SoothingDave]

I've been fortunate and never been afflicted by this thing before, but how is it possible to "no longer have diabetes" after one has had it? I thought once one had diabetes, he had it forever.

Drastic changes in the body can bring about diabetes on a temporary basis. Many women suffer from "gestational diabetes" when they are pregnant, and return to normal afterwards. So it is possible that a foreign growth, especially around the pancreas, which makes insulin, could bring about a temporary diabetic state.

SD

[CAluvdubya]

If you don't have to take insulin for Diabetes, then it is possible, through strict diet and regular exercise to overcome it. It takes maybe 2 years of this regime.

The surgery he says he had can cause diabetes. The chemo and radiation combo can further damage his already weak pancreas and cause diabetes. This is what my sister is currently battling.

[Mr. Silverback]

Hey Registered...it's been suggested that someone put Andy Stephenson's face on a bottle of Miracle Whipple, since he claims to have had the Whipple procedure for pancreatic cancer and is now healthier than the Kenyan track team. How 'bout it?

[CaliGirl-R]

This is probably my favorite shill for Andy "HE'S GONNA DIE"

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3617795

Just reminiscing......

[Mr. Silverback]

I've been married 12 years now, actually, and we're still so cute together we make people throw up.

As for my brothers...would you mind moving to Maine (current location) or NASCAR country (eventual location)?

Just kidding, really. I think they're probably going to be bachelors for life. They're twins and they get along better with each other than with any woman. :-)

[Krodg]

To: All

As usual, Andy's posts leave me confused. In Feb he is scared because he has a tumor...in March he is feeling better and as soon as his eyesight returns to normal, he'll be in ship shape (no mention of the tumor)...in May the tumor is removed and he doesn't have diabetes?

Well, that's it folks...I just came from the doctor...



He called me this morning said some more results came back from tissue samples he took during the ERCP. The reason my bile duct collapsed is I apparently have a tumor growing around the bile duct where it passes through my pancreas. The tissue sample was consistent with malignancy it could be benign but I am planning for the worst. I will deal with the outcome the best way I can and I know I have the support of my friends here at DU. I am scared about this...as can be expected.

I just have to say thanks DU for what you have given me. I have many wonderful friends here and consider some of you family. I am scheduled for surgery next week and until then I am on the edge not knowing what it is I am fighting. I may not be posting very much for a while after the surgery...but I will make sure greatauntoftriplets and VelmaD are updated as to my condition.

Pray for me guys...I need it now more than ever, and I hate to ask but if you can donate please help me out. I am gainfully unemployed right now and it does not look like I am gonna be able to work anytime soon.

paypal is Andy_Stephenson@comcast.net

Now I need to go for a while and

12. Now that my blood sugar is coming down



yes I do feel a bit better.

Not as sleepy and not as depressed. Now if I could get my eyes to come back...I would be ship shape and bristol fashion.

25. As an added bonus...there is no Diabetes.



I am still facing chemo and radiation...but one step at a time right now.

At this point in time...I am just happy to be alive and kicking.

A scheduled surgery date a week after 02/23/05? Huh, I don't remember seeing that date before now, but I've read so many different dates for this, I may have missed it.
