Bad Timing…

Share article:

Well, I got slammed with something over the weekend — some weird combination of flu, exhaustion, dehydration, as best we can tell — which resulted in about 7 hours in the hospital last night and fluids via IV and all that goes with it. (Thanks, ObamaCare!)

I know a lot of you have questions/concerns about the election results, and I had been working on things in the background until getting largely knocked out over the last few days. Frustrating is an understatement. Luckilly, Angie Coiro had been previously scheduled to fill in for me today (Monday) on The BradCast anyway, and she says she’ll be able to fill in one more day for me on Tuesday, as the doctor has suggested I take it easy for a bit longer if I can.

So that’s where we are. The fever and chills are still around, though subsiding, and I’m slowly gaining strength, but I need to go easy for a bit longer.

Just wanted to give you an update as to where the hell I’ve been. And to let you know I’m fine and will be getting back to work in the background and in the foreground, as health improves over the next day or so.

All is well. Obviously, it’s the worst possible timing for me to get slammed, obviously. I beg your indulgence until I’m back to speed, and apologize to those I’ve not yet been able to respond to via email, Twitter, BRAD BLOG comments, etc. Will try to catch up with all soon!…

Urgh…

    REAL bad timing for the most needed man in America!

    Take care of yourself, and forget about us for as long as you need, Brad.

    Please take care of yourself and there should be a little gift waiting for you in the mail when you get home. Go buy yourself and Desi a good hot fudge sundae.

    Get Well soon Brad. I know you work hard to bring us the news that the mainstream does not.

    As a former Broadcast Journalist myself, if you ever need a hand, or someone to pick up the slack in any way, please let me know.

    Get well,

    Kurt

    Stay healthy. America and the world need you. You are a lone voice in an ocean of denial and willful ignorance.

    I had no idea…
    I suppose it will do no good for me to urge you to take it easy.
    But I’m glad to see you’re back and as beautiful as ever.
    I know a couple of self-employed peeps who benefited from Obamacare as well.
