Ulitzer95 12,586 Posted May 22 Mackinlay welcomed back with standing ovation in chamber. Has always been a popular figure in Parliament across all the parties. Looks well. Scored him off my lists. Also not standing down at next election. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Though unlikely as 1) Farage and Mackinlay are friends (Mackinlay was even a UKIP leader before becoming a Tory MP), 2) I’ve been told Farage will be staging a comeback but he will stand in Clacton.

arghton 6,709 Posted May 28 On 16/05/2024 at 20:48, arghton said: A week ago he was unable to talk and unable to respond, two days ago he was greatly improving and to be discharged soon, now there's prayer meetings being held again. They said earlier that his condition changes every day. I think he'll last until next month, but his luck has to run out at some point soon. EDIT: New update says he's been discharged, but will be back on Saturday for dialysis. Jayapataka Swami has been on constant oxygen support for the last couple of days and will undergo surgery soon, but at the same time "he is gradually improving in each of his parameters day by day". Currently not in hospital, but that might change quickly. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arghton 6,709 Posted May 28 On 06/06/2023 at 11:52, arghton said: Argentine footballer and manager Miguel Ángel López (Zurdo) who once coached Maradona, reportedly hospitalised. Health history includes "acute heart attack" a few years ago. Miguel Ángel López (Zurdo) hospitalised, in ICU with lung infection. Colombian footballer and manager Pedro Sarmiento hospitalised with acute polycythemia. Danilo Carrera Drouet, Ecuador's "great godfather of corruption", hospitalised with heart problems. Last and least, Roberto Lückert León, perennially ailing Venezuelan bishop hospitalised with heart and lung failure. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ivan Krasko hospitalised in ICU but apparently already either out of ICU or discharged. From what I understand, he was going to open a football game, but fell while trying to kick the ball and his pacemaker got damaged. Edit: Already discharged. Also, he is dating one of his nurses again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drol 11,944 Posted June 4 On 25/03/2024 at 08:12, arghton said: Yuriko significantly improving (again) despite the fact that she seemingly suffered another stroke a week ago. To resume rehabilitation today. Update on Yuriko for her 101st birthday: still in hospital, "stable and rehabilitating", but "unable to eat or drink". One of the original Immortals, she is a little bit overdue at this point. Antonio Gasalla discharged again, of course. Mayor of Genoa Marco Bucci received surgery for skin cancer which metastasized to the lymphatic system. The prognosis seems to be good anyway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 6,709 Posted June 9 39 minutes ago, arghton said: While they're not current picks, I'd add Mongo McMichael and Jayapataka Swami to the group. Coincidentally both of them seemed near death in August last year (Mongo with his ALS, sepsis and pneumonia, Jaya with kidney failure and pulmonary edema) and then again earlier this year. Two medical miracles of the highest order, it makes zero sense to me how they've survived those hospitalisations when similar stuff kills people who are decades younger and in much better health. Coincidentally, Jayapataka hospitalised a few hours ago with fluid buildup in the lungs and abdomen. On constant oxygen support and undergoing thoracentesis. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
