I read the story on the Yahoo home page. The comments show the true colors of the so-called tolerant left.
This should annoy the treason party to no end.
It’s that way in the comments section of this story everywhere. But, it always is on anything similar, the liberals out themselves and they’re very, very ugly.
I adore that man so much, I always have. His health hasn’t been good for some time. The crap I’m reading on the lib sites is more than disgusting, but par for the course for the libs.
I still smile as I think of Cheney making that smarmy John Edwards look like a complete fool during the VP debate.
Sending my prayers ~
Thank you blueyon...thank you for reminding us. This heart didn’t grow on a tree. Someone had to give it up.
Make that heart count, Mr. Cheney.
Make it count.
Thanks for the information, what a wonderful story, the best to you and your husband for a long, productive life.
God bless Dick Cheney. We are praying for him and for his family. He is a fine man, husband, father and grandfather. May he live a long and healthy life doing good things for our country.
You should have told her Dr. that he was too old to do the surgery and then you should have gotten her to a better Dr.
God bless Dick Cheney and his family.
God bless this man, he has already given most of his life to his country. His recent book is amazing, a kind man, loving husband, father and grandfather. He deserves a life of ease now, he has certainly done his part.
I was curious about that too. A bit of google research turns up the following:
Even with an increased risk factor (such as VP Cheney's age), there's a 95% or higher chance of the surgery being initially successful. If the patient survives the first 30 days following a heart transplant, there's a 90% chance the patient will be alive at the end of the first year.
According to the American Heart Association (as of June, 2009), the one year survival rate for males was 88%. The three-year survival rate for males was 79.3%. The five-year survival rate for males was 73.1%. The longest heart transplant survivor was a 73-year-old American from Michigan who had lived 24 years after the surgery. Thus, in the best of circumstances, heart transplant life span can be as long as this, or in all likelihood, longer.
I would have to second those sentiments. He is a fine American patriot as well.
There is a funny story behind that photo you posted...it involves frantic efforts by the publisher early on a Sunday morning as the magazine was being distributed for insertion into the Sunday papers for delivery to try to get them all back!
Not really too old, until Obama care kicks in then 56 will be too old. with no complications he could live 10-15 more years. Prayers up.
a very historic picture, indeed.
A dark day for America.
