8. Any stroke is a concern...

But with the right therapy, most stroke patients can pretty much return to their normal routine, and in the immediate aftermath, Fetterman's recovery was really good. Not being able to find the right word, or hesitant speech patterns are a part of a left brain stroke. I really don't think the message was so much it's "discrimination" to vote against Fetterman, but genuine concern over what "Dr." Oz was capable of. He wasn't even a resident of Pennsylvania, but with the total arrogance that goes with today's Republican, I guess that should have been overlooked.

Depression and personality changes are not unknown with stroke patients. I think it's entirely possible this is what Fetterman is dealing with now. If we refused to vote for someone because of what MIGHT happen to them health-wise in the future, we might as well just turn off the lights now.

Oh, and just because...a lot of folks "lurk" here for a while before they start posting. Don't know if you did or not, but you'll probably find most folks here don't consider the desire to "protect our side" from a lunatic, fascist dictator as "garbage".
