Ford also says he still plans on running again for mayor in 2018

 

[dforthandbview]

And how many reporters asked Ford if he thinks he'll be healthy enough to testify at Lisi's trial? Let me guess, zero? That's what I thought.

So can we please remember today's ridiculous stunt the next time he's too sick (cancer ya know) to show up for any heavy lifting. Hopefully, there's a prosecutor somewhere saving these quotes about returning to work sooner, political animals, loving to serve and not being able to stay away for just such an occasion.

This makes a mockery of other people going through cancer treatment...

Any normal person upon release from hospital following life threatening surgery would be home with their family. That's all. #Rofo #topoli

Exactly!

Well, the quiet was nice while it lasted...

CP2Ford...

This is the same time as Tory is doing some event about reading.

And now I read this:

Former Rob Ford communications director Adrienne Batra will be taking over at The Toronto Sun on June 1, Postmedia announced Tuesday.

“Adrienne brings tremendous energy, political acumen and experience to our leadership team,†James Wallace, vice-president editorial, Suns, and former Sun editor, said in a statement. “She is a perfect fit for the Sun – tough, outspoken, informed and determined to stick up for the little guy!â€

“I’m really looking forward to working with everybody again and continuing the amazing work that previous editors have done with the Toronto Sun,†she told the Star. “The Toronto Sun will continue to be a voice for the little guy in this great city of ours.â€

“It’s long overdue,†former city councillor and Rob Ford’s brother, Doug Ford, told the Star of Batra’s hiring. “She’s a great person, fair and balanced, will call it the way it is. I did not see eye to eye with the previous editor."

So now we can expect even more Ford fawning from the Sun too.

The guy is his own worst guy enemy when it comes to recovery.

Probably a big promotion coming for Worms. You know, he deserves it.

Who else has stuck with the Fords, through thick, and thin?

No one.

Only Worms has been there to keep the Nation's torch burning while Rob is facing the battle of his life.

And now, Rob has said he's coming back to do battle. For the taxpayer this time. And he's determined to win.


Not as good as an earlier take on Worms' style, but I gave it a try.

Well, the quiet was nice while it lasted...

With this much theatrics, he should have auditioned to replace Chris Farley instead. Quick, can someone knock out all the elevators to the council chambers?

No more than usual, methinks. Adrienne was one of the early departures from the Ford administration. She barely lasted a year after the election. I get the impression she's very fond of him personally and ideologically, but doesn't have any illusions about his effectiveness as a politician.

Yeah, I imagine that his recovery could be messed up with all of this public exposure.

Probably a big promotion coming for Worms. You know, he deserves it.

Oddly enough, he didn't tweet a thing about today's nonsense.

Also, Michael Ford gave Wynne and Tory good grades for their performance. Very much anti-Ford.

Ford or the tweeter? I agree with her.

Yeah, Ford.

Rob Ford spotted at City Hall. Let the post cancer selfie tour begin.

FRAKING MORON!!!! The stunts just don't stop... if something happens the FN will canonize him for the saint they think he is instead of lamenting they put their faith in a moron who is officially just an attention whore. So much for his family, those values seem intact.

(I'm too pissed off to coherently continue.)

Rob Ford seeking a woman that likes to smoke

At the end of the month, my summer vacation begins. Once a year, I like to smoke; simple.

I am a SWM, professional, good looking, tall and thin, live alone, clean, no hassles/problems/baggage (I like it that way).

I am seeking a woman who wants to smoke with me.

I suggest that we actually meet somewhere before... perhaps to eat... before our appetite is shot!

Please be sincere and not a hater... I can't party with my office mates! lol

i wish someone would ask ford what pain management his doctors have him on since he has "addiction issues" (especially since he looked really high during that press conference at city hall today). for example...

Toronto General Hospital program uses new methods to prevent pain killer addictions after surgery

Dr. Hance Clarke, medical director of the pain research unit at Toronto General Hospital, believes doctors can do more to prevent patients from developing chronic and debilitating pain after surgery.

He heads a new program — one he says is a world-first — that helps patients manage severe post-surgical pain using a range of traditional and alternate therapies, including acupuncture, exercise, psychological techniques and non-opioid pain medications.

The program is unique in that it provides follow-up care for surgical patients after they are discharged from hospital.

“We do a good job of dealing with pain in hospital, but those regiments don’t continue beyond the hospital stay,” says Clarke, director of the new transitional pain service at Toronto General Hospital, a part of University Health Network.

Patients who have uncontrolled pain after surgery can sometimes wait up to 18 months to see a pain specialist, he says. During that wait, there is a risk that some patients will get addicted to prescription pain killers.

“After major surgery, 50 per cent of patients get sent home with a prescription for an opioid drug, and a percentage of those patients continue on those drugs long-term,” Clarke says. “And one of the reasons they stay on the drugs is because persistent pain from an operation gets in the way of life.”

The goal of Toronto General’s transitional pain service is to catch patients before their acute surgical pain turns chronic, becoming its own hard-to-treat disease.

Clarke says about 30 per cent of surgical patients are at risk of developing chronic pain, a shift that typically happens about three months after an operation.

“We need to treat people before we miss that window,” he says, noting the one-year pilot program, which launched in June, identifies patients at high-risk of developing chronic pain prior to their surgery.
