We’re happy to hear that Sen. Ted Kennedy has been released from Massachusetts General Hospital this morning and is headed back to his home in Cape Cod. He waved to well wishers and greeted his 2 dogs as he exited the hospital without the aid of a wheelchair.
Sen. Kennedy was diagnosed earlier this week with malignant glioma, which in most cases is fatal. However, he seems to be in good spirits and people who know him say he is a fighter. The 76 year old Senator plans to spend the week sailing and with his family. We wish him well.

It so sad to think that Sen. Kennedy was not diagnosed months, if not years, ago. Early detection is still imperative. Just goes to show you that even if folks had all the universally free or socialized medicine Kennedy’s been proposing (i.e., like the kind he and his colleagues have been getting for free at Walter Reed Hospital all these years?) nothing would ever trump being vigilant about managing your own health. I refuse to believe he never noticed a symptom or cared to ask questions about his declining health. Please folks, get in tune with your own health!
