Is Lou Dobbs ok?
I'm watching his program on CNN now and he's slurring, stumbling over his words, and it looks like the left side of his face is drooping. Someone help him.

26. That makes his bigotry more confusing, not more acceptable. nm

18. and shameful yet proud of their hatred
Saxby Charmless stated "if more of our people had voted" (not exact) regarding his election. His hatred is so ingrained he still sees Blacks and Whites as non-equal.

22. A dying party..

Honestly, how do they expect to survive at all? Within another 10 years, the Republican party will be just a memory unless they modernize their way of thinking. And if they do that, they will cease to be the Republican party.

Buh-bye! :hi:

3. I laughed at his report on the GOP governor's conference.
They were afraid Sarah was acting as their self-appointed leader.

Hey call the waambulance. :rofl:

8. Bell's palsy? I once helped someone through it. Came on quick and with no warning.
Very treatable though. I researched it all on the net and we got him fixed fairly quickly.

13. I had it, unfortunately, it was a precursor to my second brain tumor
and my doctor missed it. 9 months later, my tumor hemorrhaged, nearly killing me. This was last November. If he had recommended an MRI when he diagnosed it, I'd be in much better shape physically, and have the sight in my right eye too.

17. Oh my stars, DB, that's terrible. Damn, I'm glad you're still with us.
This happened to my brother and we thought he might be having a stroke. He was a real trooper during it all, but the rest of us were very worried. Luckily the healing rate is pretty good and he came back after a few weeks or so. Sorry for your ordeal, though. My goodness.

19. I thought I had a stroke, took almost three months to get back to
'normal', but my left side of my face still has a droop, the eyelid doesn't open as wide, and I wish that would have been the only effect.

20. His speech was bad and his eye looked uncomfortable for the longest time.
As it first happened, he had to manually make his eye blink with his finger, because the muscle action was being blocked by the swollen nerve in his neck. The tiny hole in the bone. Every few days it got better, but was worrisome in the meantime.

28. I'm so sorry. We've been seeing a lot of posters lately on DU with health care horror stories.
It's sickening how they are continually stingier with the MRI's. Can I ask what kind it was? My uncle had a very rare malignant meningioma.

Cameron, Mo. which is a couple hours from here is having an epidemic of brain tumors and the jury is still out as to why. It may be linked to the former site of an insulation plant. Erin Brokovich has now gotten involved.

31. It was big sized, about the size of a golf ball (4cm+) type
:rofl: and in the end, I stopped trying to pronounce the name because it has been a daily fight for normalcy.
What saved my small insignificant life was I took a fall down some steps last August, my vision wouldn't stop blurring, so the optomologist ordered an MRI in late October to see if I had a problem with my right eye, and poof, tumor time again. It was four days between the discovery of the tumor and surgery because the mri showed hemorrhaging.

So I read with a magnifying glass, drive during the day, and use a 22" computer screen which I sit 12 inches in front of. I still enjoy my Oreos though!

32. Thanks, they all end in ioma it seems
LOL. A friend of mine had a nerve tumor on the skull bone above her eye a few years back. We were talking the other day and none of us could remember the name for it. They all have a zillion syllables.

Hey, sounds like we're buds. Sight in my right eye goes in and out (from MS)and my friends make fun of me for wearing jeweler glasses when I'm painting or if I just plain need to see. It does look like I'm welding. I'm saving up for that 22' screen too. I've maxed the font out on this screen.

Glad you can laugh about it.:hi:

12. It sounds like you're describing someone having a stroke.
Send the payment for my services to Bill Frist. But, seriously, trouble speaking and motor problems on one side are warning signs of stroke. If it's really as you describe, someone at CNN should be calling 911.

16. It's Immigration
It's the immigration issue that gets him going like that plus
he's pissed his boy McCain didn't win. He bitches a bunch
about immigration but doesn't have any answers. Jeez, if
anyone spent as much time as him covering this you'd think he
could have solved it 2 times over.

21. He's having trouble talking out of both sides...
...of his mouth. Having to eat words you've just spoken is uncomfortable. :7
