take any unnecessary risks I'm sure. I do agree with your concern though. the USA can't afford to loose her!

It isn't the gall bladder that's worrisome. It's that she will be in a hospital and could possibly exposed to covid.

The obvious consideration of a good human being aside, the country can't afford to lose her right now. We know that Moscow Mitch won't wait for "the voters to decide."

8. I had mine out 5 years ago. But the reports say she's being treated nonsurgically.

Her gallbladder is inflamed, but apparently it isn't being removed.

That was June on 1996. It felt like that scene in "Alien" when the creature ripped out of John Hurt. I could not cough, sneeze, walk, without my diapram feeling like it was going to tear open. It was extremely painful. When I had it out lapriscopically, I felt so much better after a week. Multiple gall stones the size of frozen peas. No wonder I was in so much pain.

I wish RBG a speedy recovery.

your body right and the pain goes away. One night I had this burning pain in the middle of my back. I twisted and turned every which way and finally drove myself to the ER. First they made sure I wasn't having a heart attack. Then they brought in the ultrasound scanner. BINGO! I had a gall bladder full-o-rocks. Then they gave me morphine; a true miracle drug if there ever was one. I had the laparoscopic surgery a couple of weeks later.

7. It's OK. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell won't let POTUS replace a Judge in an election year.

He's on the record arguing very forcefully for that.

It's on video. Lots of it.

He can't very well go back on that, can he?

Get well and stay well, Justice Ginsberg.

...if he would apply the same standard in the case of a GOP president. He smiled that smile of his and said "We'd fill it."

So you better believe if there's a vacancy even during a lame-duck term for himself or Trump, Mitch will move pretty damn fast for a turtle to install the most RW extremist he can find.

He is vileness personified.

They both seem to have their own special brand of sadism, but they are equally toxic. Either way, I cannot wait for their funerals.
