O'Reilly mentioned that he heard Bubba isn't doing so well with his recovery.
Here ya go..see my #240 and #253 this thread
Didn't happen to me.
Gerald Ford is no spring chicken....he is in his 90's & missed his first RNC Convention in ages this year.
Interesting, wonder who that is.
To put a pillow over his face?
The stuff has harmed me less, as a matter of fact.

I come from generations of folks who have lived to their mid 90s without medical intervention. People who go rushing to their doctor must be wimps.
What, did fixing his arteries cure his sociopathology too?
My first thought, too. I wonder if anyone will notice?
Clinton was always a "larger than life" persona, both on the tube and in person..the kind of guy that fills a room with his presence..now, he's like a slightly deflated balloon, a tad "smaller" there's no vim or vigor projected. Again, some folks make amazing recoveries, some never bounce all the way back..
I just see him with the two nurses, just like the Jib-Jab cartoon...
he needs to give the ticker a little bit of a rest...
I've had it done (3 years and 2 days ago), and I'm just as diminished as I was before.
I knew he couldn't talk. I assumed Bill Clinton.
ROFL Well, at least you have a sense of humor.
I was unconscious and did not get to vote on whether or not I should "rush to the doctor" like a wimp. My wife chose that course. She took me to the hospital. :-)
BTW, if there are genes in your family that live into their 90s then that explains that.
Last week I attended the "birthday celebration" for a 94-year old lady. She is still lucid but does have a difficult time in walking although she still walks with a "walker." Her parents and siblings have all lived longer than she has to this point.
I'll share with you what she whispered to me: "In the morning when I first wake up I feel a whole body of nothing but pain and ask, 'How much longer?' But then when I finally get up and take a couple of Advil and move about.....the pain then subsides and I say, 'Well, this isn't so bad.'"
Kinda sad.
Most likely!
My wife has been on the heart-lung machine 4 times for open-heart surgeries (and she's only 23). I was only around for the last one. It certainly did take her a few days to get back to normal -- she was very lethargic after leaving the ICU, seemingly too tired to even chew food or speak, a rather blank stare, nervous tic in her upper lip, etc. Of course, she was also two units low on red blood cells because the hospital staff neglected to do the proper blood tests until my father-in-law cajoled them into it. Had surgery Wednesday morning, stayed that way so persistently we were debating having a neurologist look at her, then perked right up, about a 500% improvement in the space of an hour or so on Sunday evening.
I trust she's fine now?
I agree. He's the ultimate disingenuous scumbag.
But I wouldn't want him to die.
Yep, she's doing good. Been about 7 months since the recent surgery, and hopefully another 10 or 15 years before it becomes an issue again (she has an implanted human tricuspid valve in an artificial conduit, and it calcifies over time).
