Even if she passes away the Democrats might try to have her hospital room locked down and Comey can hide in the curtains and poke his head out the door now and then to act as the corpse’s oracle on how she “wants” to rule in a given case. In this way she could stay on the court indefinitely - if they get her embalmed.

Short of complications in recovery, doctors say prospects look good for a full recovery for Justice Ginsburg, 85. She hopes to be back on the court for the start of the new term in early January.— NPR (@NPR) December 21, 2018

Justice Ginsberg said if she had to draft a Constitution, she would not use the U.S. Constitution as a model. She would use South Africa's Constitution.

Consider the source...

Still, I hope she does recover, enough to come to the realization that it's time to spend more time with Mr. Ginsburg and all the little Ginsburgs. She's done more than enough to this country in her time as a lawyer/judge/justice.

My husband had breast cancer. Surgeon thought they got it all but he had radiation treatment.

If he nominates a woman I wonder if the left will be stupid enough to get a group of men to make sexual assault accusations. I wouldn’t doubt it.

I’m a smoker since 15 (now 64) - probably set up for COPD.

My wife, also 64, quit in 1988 early when pregnant with our first but recently had a 99% blocked carotid artery cleaned out despite all her good diet, exercise, health habits, etc. for all these years. Lots of other tests which says she’s good to go top to bottom now.

I think it may simply be genes as I may survive her despite my completely opposite bodily abuse.

My twin brother (fraternal - he’s more like my dad (RIP at 76) & me more like my mom) has had grey hair for 20 years - I have a few wisps of grey hair, my gals hair is almost all white for 15 years now - not grey thank you very much(She insists - I comply ;-).

My mom is 92 and still rules the roost. She has some grey hairs too but I suspect her hairdresser may have a hand in that.

I did search at one point and studies suggest that presence or absence of grey hair does not correlate with longevity but I do wonder.

Sorry to go on - lots to do but I’m a professional procrastinator and my gal won’t be back for a couple of days still. ;-)

Really after all that, in any number of cases I’ve read where smokers quit but then died of lung cancer not long after.

Regardless, I’m surprised to still be here thus my gene theory. ;-)

My plan is to moderate but continue to challenge my body’s defenses to stay “healthy”. ;-)

Sorry - lots of posts to reply to a simple comment - I meant to include you on this post: #112 - TH54

Anecdotal info for you if you're an MD, perhaps less interesting if MD means you're from Maryland. ;-)

That is my guess too. At her age, the whole frame could rot before you ever noticed.

From what I understand with lung cancer after surgery the risk of recurrence never returns to zero, so not doing follow up Chemo is basically rolling the dice.
The Media portrays her as lively and engaged but my observations disagree.

She missed her chance to retire under Obama so she should probably do so now.

It seems unlikely she'll make it to 2025 by appearance and carriage alone. IMHO.

There must be some medical mistake.

According to obama, she was only supposed to get a pain pill

Zeke Emanuel, one of the brains behind 0bamacare said there’s no reason why anyone needs to live past 75. RBG would be over 20 years past her expiration date. Perhaps she should get her affairs in order and set an example for the rest of us.

I heard she will be training with Lance Armstrong.

You mean Lance will be training with Ruthie, The Notorious RBG!
