JERUSALEM - Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was rushed to a hospital late Wednesday after feeling ill, his office said.
Israeli media reported that he apparently suffered a second stroke. The announcement said he was taken to Jerusalem's Hadassah Hospital, where he was scheduled to undergo a heart procedure Thursday to close a hole that contributed to his Dec. 18 stroke.
Israeli media and the Israeli rescue service said Sharon was taken to Soroka Hospital in Beersheba, not far from his ranch, where he was resting before the Thursday procedure.
Prayers are for him.......
Eating crap will do that, I suppose.
Prayers
Not good news. It's pretty common for strokes to follow pretty closely another stroke. With luck, it will be a minor one and the surgery can still go on.
"Eating crap will do that, I suppose."
Huh? What does this reference?
HEADS UP!
Prayers sent.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
I don't think that GSC meant literal coprophagy. Sharon has a well-known reputation as a glutton, and is morbidly obese.
Either way, his career is over. I agree with another article that this presages a generational turnover in Israeli politics. Like when the Brezhnev generation died out in the old Soviet Union (Brezhnev/Andropov/Chernenko). No way is his one-man-show political party going to survive without him. Nor am I going to assume that Netanyahu is an automatic shoo-in.
Face it, recent actions prove that the man had outlived his usefulness.
The amount of stress he is under, his legal problems, and his workaholic ways can't help either. Best wishes to him.
Oy vey. Maybe it's time for Binni!
Off topic..I saw the pic of your car, I'm so glad your o.k. :)
I strongly disagree with disengagement, but I don't wish Sharon death. Instead, I'm going to wish him a speedy, full recovery followed by a long and happy retirement.
"Eating crap will do that, I suppose."
Sorry, what do you mean by that?
There is always the possibility that a change in his dietary regime has caused him to go into detox and this would, in fact, make him feel very ill.
