Dick Cheney Still Hospitalized After Heart Surgery, Hoping To Go Home This Week

08/ 1/10 12:30 PM | AP

WASHINGTON — Former Vice President Dick Cheney is still in the hospital after heart surgery in early July.

Daughter Liz Cheney says her 69-year-old dad is out of intensive care and hopes to return home this week. She tells "Fox News Sunday" that he's already planning trips for fly fishing and hunting later this year.

Dick Cheney has had five heart attacks since he was 37. In his recent surgery at a northern Virginia hospital, Cheney had a small pump installed to help his heart work.

After the operation, Cheney said in a statement that he was entering a new phase of treatment for what he called "increasing congestive heart failure."

1. Hunting? Oh, please! These looney Cheneys are in deep denial...

He has a fucking pump apparatus hanging outside his chest with tubes running directly into his chest cavity. One recoil from his shotgun would rip the whole thing apart...:eyes:

Unless, of course, she meant that he'd sit in the limo, point and tell his SS bodyguard, "shoot it!";)

2. prognosis usually 6 years with congestive heart failure

the pacemaker can improve things but the prognosis is poor. A heart transplant at his age probably won't work either.

3. May I suggest a campout "near Yellowstone"?

I hear there are plenty of spunky bears there who might want a Cheney encounter:)

4. Wants to shoot someone in the face just one more time. n/t

5. What a vampire

(actually that's probably offensive to vampires, sorry)

After standing next to death's door, the first thing he wants to do when he gets out is go kill something?

Fucker.

7. Hunting? I understand he likes to kill things.

8. Bet he's home with a nurse 24/7. He's not getting out of that bed any

time soon. If he were Catholic now would be the time to call the Priest, maybe not for last rights but a damn good heart-to-heart confession...

9. Hunting for funeral parlors?

10. Well, Liz will have to wheel him out to some hunting site and put the gun in his hands

and tell him when to shoot, if that's the case.

God, almighty. Who do they think we are, putting this shit out there? They've gotta be crazy...this guy ain't goin' nowhere. He is dying and they all know it...

11. donors or sacrifice

They probably have a list of compatible donors which will miraculously be the same as the list of "friends" that will be out hunting with him. Either that or his dark master requires a sacrifice of human blood in exchange for another couple of years up here.
