Wallenberg's Syndrome

So, in addition to the stomach cancer and assorted complications I have now been diagnosed with Wallenberg's Syndrome.

Docs of various specialties are getting together to form a medication and rehab plan. Will let you know.

My prayers go with you sir.; October 12, 2012 at 3:39 PM
the everlovin' dweeze said...: Heh. I thought of Raoul Wallenberg myself.

Well, get better. As much as you can, as soon as you can.

All we need now is yet another Bill Nye post celebrating your coming demise and the day will be complete. Ain't it great, Mike? Simply breathing causes folks to go off the deep end. Keep it up.; October 12, 2012 at 5:12 PM

Kurt "45superman" Hofmann said...: The prayers of a nation (or at least the part of it that still matters) are with you, Mike.

You are our champion.; October 12, 2012 at 8:40 PM

Moe Death said...: Trust in the Lord, Mike. Your work here is not finished. I will pray for you, as will Domino. Her prayers might have a bit more strength to 'em, seeing as how she's a much better person than I am, but I will pray any way.

Get well, Mike. So many are depending on you.

Domino, the Bushmills... and make 'em strong...

Bill and Domino

Anonymous said...: Mike: Sorry to hear of the problems. I'm curious as to whether or not you are experiencing any problems with taste, one side or the other, since there might be involvement of the nucleus of the solitary tract; particularly salt or sweet since it is located in the region you show. Wishing you the best...many times the brain can circumvent injury in remarkable ways....; October 13, 2012 at 7:20 AM

CowboyDan said...: You are in our prayers, also, Mike. Tomorrow at Mass, and for several weeks thereafter, you will be lifted by name.

Please heal well. We've never met, but you are a hero to me, and, I believe, a friend.

Please take time to heal, and be good to you and yours.

Thanks for your work.; October 13, 2012 at 11:21 PM

Yours is a voice that must be heard.
Be careful not to take more drugs than are absolutely necessary, they have a way of making a bad situation worse. You know what I mean if you're taking drugs to combat the side effects of other drugs. Seek a second or third opinion. Prayers for you and Rosie.

I really hope you don't die soon, or at least that if you have to die soon, it's not painful. Blessed Be.; October 15, 2012 at 10:39 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

-- Mike Vanderboegh, The Lessons of Mumbai:Death Cults, the "Socialism of Imbeciles" and Refusing to Submit, 1 December 2008

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
