Praying for RBG!

[Blue Owl]

1. Hang in there Ruth!

Feels like the fate of the country is riding on this procedure...

[agingdem]

2. so did my father-in-law...

in 1999...he's still alive...it's a hard surgery to recover from...

[BigmanPigman]

3. Her surgeon just said he removed them and she has no more cancer.

She will rest over the holidays. Hang in there Ruth!

[Maeve]

4. Hang in there, lady!

Please beat this...we need you!

[IronLionZion]

5. Get well soon Justice Ginsburg

[BootinUp]

6. Tough bird. My thoughts and prayers won't change that. Nt

[ZeroSomeBrains]

7. If we had the technology

I would donate my 28 yeard old body to RBG if she wanted.

[djacq]

8. RBG is the Energizer Rabbit!

Never stop Justice Ginsburg. Never stop.

[EllieBC]

9. Refuah shlema to Yita Ruchel bat Tzirel Leah.

May she have a full and speedy recovery.

[JudyM]

12. Renewal. May it be so.

[Still In Wisconsin]

14. Refuah shlema, indeed n/t

[mountain grammy]

10. I can't imagine or even think.

[Union Label]

11. Oh fuck I just heard

If I prayed I would but all that craps made up and I live in the real world.

[LittleGirl]

18. Welcome to DU union label!

I don't pray either but there are moments when I do the sign of the cross for shits and giggles.

[JudyM]

13. I hope she's seeing an integrative oncologist.

Would love to have her taking natural anti cancer supplements like Asian mushrooms and cannabis.

[MyUncle]

15. Merry F*cking Christmas...

Jeez. I am hoping for multi denominational, international, interracial, multi species, healing energy to RBG from everyone, everything and everywhere.

[Baltimike]

16. FUUUUUCK! She's my favorite. Hang in there, and healing

[leftofcool]

17. I have a spare. We can do a match test right now if she needs it.

[Moebym]

19. Saved by a broken rib.

I wish her a full, speedy recovery from her surgery.

[Anonymous Bosh]

20. May she recover, quickly and fully

Hang in there, Notorious!

[mudstump]

21. I love RBG, but....

she should have retired when Obama was president. The problem with that is with a republican controlled Congress they would probably refuse to hold hearings.

[Drunken Irishman]

22. Democrats held the Senate for a full two years of Obama's second term...

That was the time to do it. I hope her choice to stay proves a wise one. If we lose her, it's game over for two-plus decades.

[TJKatd]

25. I agree...

And am loathe to have even an annoyance with her, but I keep having the same thought.

I understand that we can’t have all the really old Dems in power positions leave since the risk of Repubs taking them is too great, but sometimes it’s just time to go. DiFi and Robert Byrd are good examples. Clearly giving up power, whether it’s in Congress, SCOTUS, or elsewhere, is very hard.

[BeyondGeography]

32. Yup

[Gothmog]

23. I will be praying for RBG

[geardaddy]

24. Rest up and get back to kicking ass, Madame Justice!

[Blue Owl]

26. Ruth "Iron Lung" Ginsburg!

[dae]

27. While Trump/Pence is in office you are welcome to any of my organs.

[PeeJ52]

28. Hmmm... I wonder how they remove a "growth"?

In 2002 I had a 5 mm spot that grew to a 1.5 cm spot in almost a year and they took the entire lobe it was on. I haven't looked back since. I was only 50 then, and probably in the best shape of my life, but it was a rough 3 days after the operation. I hear it's a lot easier now with the robotics and the small incision now days though. Get well, my lady. We're depending upon you! Thoughts and prayers for sure.

[catbyte]

29. Those broken ribs might've been a blessing in disguise. They found the

growths while they were treating them. Fervent wishes for a speedy recovery.

[TSheehan]

30. As much as I admire Ginsburg, I share the sentiment of those who she should've retired c. 2009.

The Supreme Court is lost to Democrats for a generation, if not more.

[Honeycombe8]

34. Same here.

I'm not shocked she had cancer again. And won't be shocked hearing of her next illness. The body starts breaking down in those late years, despite healthy living and first rate health care. It's inevitable.

I just hope we have a Democratic President come 2020.

[applegrove]

31. Vibes to her health.

[NewEnglandAutumn]

33. Go For It Ruth!! You can beat this.

My husband was diagnosed with metastatic sarcoma in '98. It was in both lungs 7-8 on X-rays but when they got in there there were more than 16. His prognosis was poor the say the least. He is still fighting it. His doctors are pleased but baffled why he is still here. Let's hope she does as well.

[Honeycombe8]

35. She may be fine. But she's 85.

The body starts breaking down at that age. My father is her age and has always been robust and healthy and active. But he started having minor health issues in his 70s. He's trucking on, though, still very active and taking care of his half acre all by himself, and taking care of his very ill wife who is 14 years younger!

But 85 is still 85. That is past the life expectancy for someone born when they were.

[akraven]

36. And flowers! If she's in hospital, they'll hold them for her.
