Foxnews alert.. he has a blood clot in his leg
He has logged a few miles in an airplane. The inactivity is know to cause blood clots in the lower leg although I suspect Cheney had more room than your basic coach traveler.
Praying for our dear Vice President!
Warfarin is an ingredient in certain rat eliminators.....It thins the blood, they literally lose all of it in due time.
Unbelieveable he is already back at work talk about hyping everythng yes it can be serious but as with all his previous problems caught early treated - lets move on.
It can happen at any age and without any previous medical problems.
I suspect although AF2 has room for you to walk about he would have spent a lot of time in a sitting position probably behind a desk reading through papers which is not good whilst flying.
It is easy to be wise with all things after the event I am sure in future travel he will move around more.
Warfarin certainly does have draw backs my father is on it and he has to be checked out every 4 - 6 weeks when he was on it before he did have nose bleeds but this time they seem to have the doseage more stable.
No
He would have spent a lot of time in a sitting position though both on the plane and at meetings travelling through time zones etc probably meant spent most of the time on the plane resting and not walking about bet that does not happen in future.
Prayers up for the big man, big time!
Cheney goes into hospital for blood clot. Sen. Reid asks that Cheney resign because he cannot do his job. When Senator Johnson is mentioned, Sen. Reid cries foul.
What page of the NY Times will this story appear? Place your bets.
Actually...rat poison is a massive does of warfarin. I found this out when my beloved beagle got a hold of some and was successfully treated with an "overdose" of vit K...after her stomach was emptied, of course.
does = dose
What I meant was that about 5-10 days ago Puce Pelosi got angry with Cheney and accused him of questioning her patriotism (what patriotism?) while Cheney was in Australia. So she's calling the WH and demanding an explanation from the prez. Cheney retaliates and says that he's not questioning her patriotism (even though the rest of us certainly are) but questioning her judgment. It was so delicious. Anyway, that's what I meant when I said that ole Puce is clapping her hands out pure unadulterated spite which is normal from the socialist RATS.
If it comes to that, my thought would be Condi - she was the closest to both of them before she was moved to State. She's only gained stature and experience since then. And it would be difficult for Dems not to approve.
like what happened to David Bloom of NBC
I believe you mean that little puke 'David' Gregory...
YES!.....It's an ANTI-COAGULANT, so now you know why she's a "BLEEDING HEART"!..........
Put her on 400 units of Vitamin E, not the lab l-alpha stuff but the natural D-alpha stuff. It will thin the blood and fight clots at the same time.
Without the nasty side effects. Of course, the doctor may continue to prescribe the poison, "just in case".
If he does, get a second opionion, from a doctor who can justify the poison, not just hand it out.
