What is the dress code at the House of Wankaster?

Talking about creepy, Anonymous is promising to leak John Baird allegations tomorrow.

Maybe this, maybe that, maybe a hospital infection. That kind of surgery, especially if "seriously infected" can take forever to heal. Judging by the extent of the edema in some of the photos that would be my bet. MRSA's a major bitch.

Quick question, RR: What are you seeing when you say "the extent of the edema in some of the photos"? Just curious.

He wore that tracksuit to a swanky restaurant? I think he does that stuff because it reminds people that he was sick and is still recovering--part of his never-ending sympathy play.

Since the surgery, probably most pronounced in the Red Tracksuit phase. I'm guessing the sweats were not a result of the outfit. I remember after my surgical misadventure (femoral by-pass) I was carrying so much fluid my joint movement was restricted, but just on the one side. I was leaking lymphatic fluid from the incision. I could be sweating heavily and feel cold at the same time.

Now, in the black outfit, Rob looks better, less bloated, not sweaty, but he sounds really tired in the recent videos posted. Four months after my surgery I lost the other leg to the infection. It had settled at the end of my tibia and my heel shattered. I had a full-body bloat then. In rehab they did nose swabs (sometimes from a much lower orifice) every couple of weeks to see if the infection had "cleared". I had to have 3 consecutive negative results before they declared me "cleared". That took six and a half months, the bloating was gone, but I still felt like shit for months after. And my original incision, groin to ankle, took almost a year to be bandage free. I don't know about cancer, chemo or radiation, but I'm sure I was healthier than him going into OR.

Thanks for the additional. And I sincerely hope you're feeling better these day. What a harrowing experience.

To clarify, you lost both of your legs to a post-surgery infection?

Just thought I recognized the symptoms - "serious infection", bi-weekly clinic check ins, rapid "weight loss" and restrained manner that seems new for Rob. Could be wrong. It was almost nine years ago. It was a life changer.
 
Really long interview with Ford on the Arlene Bynon show here. It's full of outrageous claims and deflections. I'm surprised it's not getting more attention.

He claims credit for the murder rate being lower when he was mayor, saying it was because he supports the police while Tory is taking away their tools like carding.

She challenges him, saying he didn't seem to like police dogging him. He deflects and wonders why they bothered him so long as he's "straight as an arrow".

He goes off on the police for a long time, saying he heard they spent $6 million investigating him and that they're still following him.

He also claims credit for tourism booming during his reign, saying it was because he cut the car tax and made sure everything was clean lol.

He refuses to take responsibility for his crack use, saying he only did it because of the alcohol, which if you talk to his friends like I have that's not true! He's been doing crack etc since high school.
