Frederick Clarkson, who has been writing comments and diaries at Daily Kos for the past five years, is in the Cardiac ICU at Bay State Medical Center in Springfield, Massachusetts. He's recovering from a serious operation to remove a spray of blot clots from a lung and a clot in his right leg.
And, despite this, once again demonstrating why he is one of my favorite people, he's in good spirits (helped by a morphine drip) and joking with the nursing staff. He had an exclusive comment for all of us, delivered via his good friend and fellow Kossack, Jonathan Hutson:
"Fight on for a public option, Kossacks. Everybody should be able to receive the kind of expert, quality care that has saved my life."
Right on. Get well, Fred.
