Posted on 07/23/2009 6:43:09 PM PDT by GQuagmire

Ted Kennedy was left paralyzed after being hit with a devastating seizure, The ENQUIRER has learned exclusively.

Although he'd been fighting a valiant battle against brain cancer for more than a year, the 77-year-old senator was jolted by a frightening seizure in mid-July that paralyzed the right side of his body and left his speech slurred.

You are a kind and generous person. For me, I wouldn’t say that it is so much a wish as it is an expectation...

Well, I wouldn’t wish his condition on anyone...even my worst enemy. He is suffering and knows he is facing his last days on this earth. He went to the gravesite to ask forgiveness or whatever his reason but at least he went there. He has a lot on his plate and am sure he is wanting to unload it all. I will pray for his soul.

Maybe Ted’s white light will yield to an image of a flooding car, his face pushed up tight against the rear roof gasping at the c-pillar for air.

...or not.

Aren't seizures that leave one side paralyzed and your speech slurred called a 'stroke'?

Yes. My guess is Kennedy had the stroke first, leaving the paralysis. An after effect of a stroke can be seizures, which then came second. The public medical report mentions all the details - except it drops the "stroke" part.

As Howie Carr likes to put it, it may be that ol' Teddy will not be down for breakfast very soon.

Hmmmn.

Still no word in the mass media.

But why would ABCNNBCBS not run the story = get him out of the Mass Senate seat? Do they think some repubbie would win? Romney?

'Paralysis after a seizure usually temporary"

We had a neighbor die of Kennedy's cancer type, Malignant Glioma (sp?). She had several seizures which caused paralysis and that paralysis persisted until her death. It was actually quite a gruesome ordeal for her, and her family. That kind of cancer is quite insidious and unrelenting.

Lord Jesus, you died for all of Ted K’s sin, it is all paid for. He does not deserve salvation and neither did I. If it is your will, save his soul before it is eternally too late; thy will be done, in Jesus name, amen.

I am no fan of Teddy Kennedy's. Never have been . Never will be. But I will not kick a man when he is down. His time of grace is ending and I pray for his eternal salvation. Nuff said...

Ted is cancer free now.

But when one goes into the brain with the intensive type of brain surgery he had along with the intense chemo [not sure if he had radiation] those seizures will only become worse which is what will cause his death.

“Ted is cancer free now.”

No, not true. Gliablastoma Multiform is a very diffuse cancer. They never get it all. It almost always comes back. That is why the life expectancy is about 1 yr after diagnosis. It is a death sentence.

"As a citizen of the Commonwealth, I demand Ted Kennedy be forced to resign, and a special election be held to fill his seat for the remaining 3 years of his term!"

Wouldn't that be funny....The Dems changed the Law in 2004 here in Mass. That so if Kerry won the White House, Romney could not appoint a Senator replacement.

Just imagine an upset, for a brief instant.....

I thought I’d read he was in complete remission and that is why he came back to Senate June 1st. I know how bad that cancer is. There was a FReeper whose husband had it and went into remission. It never came back on him but all the invasion medical care caused so many other problems after 3 years he died.

Ted may not be down to breakfast but what do you want to bet even his corpse will vote on the nObama health care bill.
