Wishing VP Cheney a Speedy Recovery

He folks,

I sure you know by now the Vice President Dick Cheney has been diagnosed with a blood clot in his left leg.

Doctors discovered a blood clot in Vice President Dick Cheney's left leg Monday, a condition that could be fatal if left untreated.

The 66-year-old Cheney, who has a history of heart problems, will be treated with blood-thinning medication for several months, said spokeswoman Lea Anne McBride.

She said Cheney visited his doctor's office in Washington after feeling minor discomfort in his calf. An ultrasound showed the blood clot — called a deep venous thrombosis — in his left lower leg.

Blood clots that form deep in the legs can become killers if they break off and float into the lungs. This is called a pulmonary embolism. Deep vein thrombosis strikes an estimated 2 million Americans each year, killing 60,000.

Many people suffer DVT after spending long periods without moving, such as passengers on long-haul airline flights. Cheney spent about 65 hours on a plane on a nine-day, round-the-world trip that ended last week.

"When you're just sitting there with your legs hanging down for long periods of time, that's what predisposes you to the problem," said Sean O'Donnell, chief of vascular surgery of Washington Hospital Center.

"Treated properly, it poses a small threat," O'Donnell said. "Untreated and unrecognized, it's a very serious problem."

Now according to this article by the AP, the first sentence, "Doctors discovered a blood clot in Vice President Dick Cheney's left leg Monday, a condition that could be fatal if left untreated." All sounds pretty bad. This is what the LWL {Left Wing Looneys for those who need further help in understanding} and some in the Mass Media, would LOVE to happen.

The BBC is reporting how "unhealthy" VP Cheney has been. They say,

He is to be treated with blood-thinning medication for several months.

Mr Cheney, 66, has a history of cardiac problems. He has suffered four heart attacks and has a pacemaker.

He had quadruple bypass surgery in 1988 after his third heart attack.

He also had an operation to remove blood clots in his knees in 2005.

I can hear some of them now, "YES!!! Lets hope it’s sooner than later." They REALLY what him dead. This is just more insanity from the compassionate, all inclusive, America hating self loathing, power hungry, Liberals.

Remember the bombing? The Huffy Post and their shepeople? Bill Mar? The Blogs? They all came right out and said "Too bad they missed. Maybe next time. The devil lives, ETC" that is just plain sick.

I remember watching this country be attacked and attacked, over and over again while the spineless, gutless, sex craved lunatic, was too busy getting a BJ and chasing women to protect us. I remember watching him LIE to a Grand Jury. I remember seeing some Right Wingnuts attack him daily. I remember he was impeached. {Even if Mrs. Bill Clinton forbids anyone to talk about that during the campaign}

But through all this, I do not remember ANYONE actually coming out and wishing President Clinton death. That’s the difference. Maturity vs immaturity. Sanity vs insanity. Moderates, Independents, Republicans, even a lot of Democrats, know how to be civil. The Looneys have too much hatred for that.

Mr. Vice President, I support you. I and most here at the OPN wish you a speedy recovery. Keep up the good work.
Peter
