Doug "MyFavorteHeadache" Maher called me from the hospital tonight. He was experiencing back and chest pain today and decided to have it checked out.... turns out that he has a blood clot in his lung that could possibly move to his heart. They have him all tubed up with all kinds of drugs and blood thinners, and he's understandably a bit shook up as this is the same affliction that killed his dad at the age of 37. He'll probably be on blood thinners for he rest of his life.
For those who don't know Doug, he's a great guy all around. We're in a local organization together but our activism goes back several years.
The above pic (that's Doug on the left about to shove his sign up the stinky Rat's a$$) was taken in West Palm during the near riots of the 2000 elections, when we (and several other FReepers) nearly had our heads handed to us by angry Rats. This photo wound up on the front page of the NY Times, NY post, Stars and Stripes just to name a few. It was also featured on a 2 page spread in USA Today and was in numerous papers around the world. I happend to pull this one off the Chandigarth Tribune in India, where it's still up to this day.
As I said, Doug is a great guy and an A+ American. Say a prayer for him, even though I know God is going to take good care of him.

Thank you for keeping us updated on Doug's progress. And don't worry, he won't miss flying if his experiences have been anything like mine (rotten service, treated like cattle, horrible food, bizarre security procedures like only searching old white women...) Anyway, you're a good friend to him.

So happy a "real live nephew of our Uncle Sam" will be enjoying the Fourth of July at home and in good spirits.
Happy Holiday to you, MFH, and to all patriotic freepers everywhere!

**I went to see Doug yesterday. He's doing well and may get out today. Sure he may have to take blood thinners and is not allowed to fly, but he's still with us and in good spirits. Hehe. MOST EXCELLENT. I attended one of the most beautiful masses ever, just before seeing Doug. When God reveals himself it's often at the most unexpected times, but it is truly AWESOME. God bless all of you! **
I'm so thankful to hear Doug is doing much better, AAA. What a blessing!
The Lord reigns.....let the earth rejoice! <><
