Not a surprise, but as per the article, she's in the hospital overnight simply for observation.

I'll wager that she'll have to take her time getting back on solid food

why? By all accounts on here, she was never fasting or hunger striking. She cheated all the time, and more than likely gained weight.

Going from any type of call it a fast, liquids only or whatever - to move to solid foods takes time.

and it's more than "over night"

She remains in hospital on an intravenous line as she recovers following these six weeks without solid food.

Right on....The rest of the comments by medical experts, were general ones about someone on a liquid diet (Armchair comments like you or I could make,...but expert ones) not examining physicians

At best she was fasting. The fishbroth cocktail that she consumed provided the basic necessities in terms of vitamins, minerals, etc. The notion that her 'hospitalization' was overnight observation tells that she is not in any real danger from this event.

Now, you wanna talk hunger-strike, I believe that all they consumed was water: here's the benchmark

Bobby Sands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

or:

Venezuelan anti-Chavez hunger striker dies

This is what a hunger-striker really looks like

Before


After

interesting. I guess the Venezuelan must have been cheating since Sands died after just 2 months and the farmer died after 5 months.

That must be it.

Still makes me wonder how Theressa barely showed any physical signs of the 6 week "hunger strike"... Who knows, maybe she was cheating too

Funny how this charade was spun into a 'protest' and a 'fast' after the 'strike' thing became a joke (well, except for those like the CBC).

Why does anyone still care about this rounder?

Cause she is still vacuuming up a horrendous amount of tax dollars with nothing to show for it. Not even a reduced waistline.

She caused more harm than good. Who ever advised her, and the decisions she made based upon that- hers was the final decision- when she could have walked away without a reputation in tatters was well past.

I sure hope her OHIP premiums are paid up!

Of course @ $70,000/year she's in good shape even if they aren't-do natives even pay premiums or do we?

I suppose the gubmint teat could be said to be her full time employer.

I don't pay premiums...... as a matter of fact, no one in Alberta pays premiums.

I also make a hell of a lot more than 70k per year with out the responsibility of hundreds of other people.

Like Chief ExSpence-ive has any responsibility for her "people". Give me a break. Chief ExSpence-ive us protestubg against her weakening political influence. Chiefs are ineffective and the rank and file are unhappy with poverty, low incomes, low education and high crime rates. Chiefs dont care, they have their high salaries.

Nation to nation negotiations are bogus, these are villages and villagers who cannot run medical, police and education social services. Let's stop kidding that they can. Equality for all is the only solution and end the bogus treaties that dont mention BC, petroleum and and thousand other things.

yes, sincere, why? You also find it funny like the brainless harperites? I bet those 2 idiots would have pissed their pants laughing if she had died during her fast and then had a good riddance party ta boot.

Ah....she was more apt to die from cardiac arrest from clogged arteries than she was to die from the health food diet she was on....if she was even ob it!! Forty plus days......you'd think she would have lost a few pounds. Not much evidence of that!!

You're a bright guy, Gerry, you don't really take this woman seriously???

Even her band is fed up with her.

Ezra is probably the least racist person in Canada... lol

Yeah, I heard she lost 30 lbs, although it is hard to believe. 30 lbs is a LOT of bulk, and she still looks darn big.

If so, she is healthier now than when she started.......big deal.

I went from 240 to 205 in 4 weeks in hospital after my heart attack....on a full diet of hospital food.

I remain unimpressed.

so you've been saying for years. I disagree completely. Then again, maybe the reason you defend his racism as non, is because you are too.

The more you type, the more you reinforce how much of an ignorant prick you are. A lot like your hero levant.

Ya, he's just an entertainer and not a very good one at that.

A person could die eating hospital food.
I lost 30 lb on diuretics after my bout with congestive heart failure. Pissed it all away, literally.

What the **** is wrong with you??

Do you feel it ALWAYS necessary to be an arrogant, ignorant, rude little pissant?? You do it all the time, no matter how politely you are approached...

Yet you claim to be a devout Catholic.

HARDLY Christian behaviour.

LOL.... you support levant and refer to ME as an arrogant pissant? Now that's rich.


Personally, I find your comments and your bum buddy levant's comments in regard to this topic to be ignorant, arrogant and rude.
