KO isn't sounding good about Senator Johnson
Apparently he's in pretty bad shape. Spokespeople being very vague. BUT...according to Senate Historian, he CANNOT BE REMOVED just because of his health. As long as he is alive and can communicate, he is entitled to the seat.

1. Yes, Schuster is saying it's looking graver than we've heard from
his spokesperson, though no one is saying exactly what he's suffering from.

2. I'm listening
David Schuster is pushing for something more serious. I don't like it.

4. Wait a minute. Did Johnson have a stroke/TIA or not?
Does Olbermann know exactly what happened to Johnson and what his condition is presently?

5. No stroke, they're not disclosing anything other than that.

12. My sister-in-law had two brain aneurysms, one in her early
twenties and again eight years later. SHe lost some memories of her infant daughter, had to learn to read and speak all over again. Took alot of speech therapy, OT and PT. It messed with her pretty seriously, and she made alot of wrong decisions about her life after that. But she is alive and recovered and doing much better now. She is permanently disabled, though.

19. Do they know what caused the aneurysms?
My uncle died in his mid-20's from a brain aneurysm, and I've always been worried that my siblings or I may be susceptible to the same thing.

22. Most likely a congenital malformation, per the nuerosurgeon,
but her last one (and hopefully last) was 14 years ago. Some things like this are likely to remain a mystery.

One of the most heartbreaking TV reality medical shows was about a little girl, probably 4-6 years old who had complained of a headache and then had the physical signs of a problem. When the surgeon started on her, they were very hopeful, but then when they saw the nature of the AVM and the accompanying bleed, there was absolutely nothing that could be done. My husband and I had to turn the channel because we were so upset about a parent having to be told that her little one didn't make it.

14. If Johnson has been released
from the hospital one would think it is hardly grave.

I'm hopeful that he will be just fine.

18. Other reports have said he is still in the hospital. I don't know which
is true but from Keith's seriousness I would think he is still at the hospital.
