Dear Lord, I said hip, not ankle!

I guess I need to be more specific.

Her Doctor told her she couldn’t fly. I wonder why?
Maybe he is worried about blood clots? Any guess’s out there.
Hope she recovers quickily and runs for Governor. It would be only right to have a Rat in charge when the state goes down in flames..serve them right.

Of course DiFi could go by land. Doesn't John Madden?

This sounds suspiciously like Michael Corleone attending his son's baptism while Mo Green and the gang went down.

I can also see a line of Democrats having Kathy Bates perform the James Cann maneuver as in film Misery just so they may avoid the carnage in Denver.

California might as well send a couple of horses to the Senate, a la Caligula! They would look a lot prettier, too!

Whats wrong with you people! She has a broken appendage.

Some day people will invent a way to get around when crippled like this, and call them ‘crutches’ or ‘wheel chair’ or Segway (aren’t those neat?) or something...

Maybe she broke her ankle while practicing her “rioting” skills.

1. major swelling
2. compartment syndrome ......pressure within the compartment gets too high for example, from too much swelling or bleeding after surgery or injury, the lack of oxygen to the tissue can damage blood vessels and nerve and muscle cells.
3.blood clots

She is wise not to go....she needs to lay low with her ankle elevated above the heart to prevent swelling and other problems.

If I had a choice between listening to people like Hilary Clinton and Howard Dean for three days or shooting myself in the foot, I’d have a real dilemna on my hands.

Namely, which caliber should I use?

Seriously, best wishes to the senator for a speedy recovery.

DiFi will not be missed all that much....probably not a good idea to fly anyway with a fresh injury...greater potential for DVT’s (leg vein clots) to form during flight
if the leg is immobilized somewhat.
