Please excuse the vanity, but I briefly recall Edwards saying the other day that Kerry still had schrapnel in him along with a statement about bleeding in Vietnam.
Is this true?
The only shrapnel Kerry had was that little piece, which was removed by hand, and closed with a bandaid according to Dr. Stetson, who treated him. The rice, which was stuck in his a** was self inflicted, and also removed by hand.
apparently he does have a very tiny piece of something in his leg - according to x-rays (source Boston Herald late april or early may '04) it measures about 2mmx2mm - which must mean it's even thinner although senator booboo has claimed it "caused him pain for years"
I thought it was just rice.
There was a couple of trial lawyer thingys that came up that meant a bundle to Edwards. Sorry, he will be out of the limelight for a while (ala Cochran/Gerogos style).............
Ya gotta make hay when the sun shines, don't ya know?????
LOL!!
