Senator Kelly Taken Ill

By -
I got this release this AM. Apparently Senator Kelly took ill, and as a precaution he was checked out and found to be in good health.
Update on Medical Condition of District 13 Senator Dick Kelly ( R-Sioux Falls )

Further testing through the night and this morning has determined that the pain Senator Kelly experience last night was a result of respiratory complications and was not cardiac related as originally assumed.

Senator Kelly is in full spirits and will remain at the Heart Hospital through tomorrow afternoon. He will recover at home for the next week.

Senator Kelly noted “I’m not good with the timing of these things. I’m frustrated that I won’t be involved in Saturday’s district literature drop, but am humbled by the outpouring of support from constituents and colleagues. The phone has been ringing non-stop with calls of encouragement.”

Kelly’s wife noted, “I guess this is probably the result of all of those late nights putting up signs in the cold weather and the door to door visits with constituents during the recent cold streak.”

Kelly is a life long Sioux Falls resident. He has served District 13 for two terms. He currently serves as Chairman of the Senate Transportation Committee. Prior to his election to the Senate, Kelly was elected twice to a position on the Sioux Falls City Council.

Next you're going to say that Heidepriem attacked Kelly and put him in the hospital. Problem with that is that Heidepriem didn't attack anyone. Unless you call hard work an attack.

Amen Poliglut.

Anonymous 1:17 shouldn't be talking about classy moves. He or she clearly has no class and has almost no grasp of reality.

We wish Dick well and as 4:01pm says, the campaign continues.

A note from Benedict Ar... Sorry. A note from Stan Adelstein why he thinks you should vote Democrat this year.

(Click on letter to enlarge) And while it may not be printed at taxpayer expense, I don't see a disclaimer, either. When they hold the special session (supposedly at the end of November) , since he's left them already, I think his colleagues should expel him from the caucus. Sure. At that point it's only going to be symbolic. But since he's already said he's running again in the near future, sometimes symbolism is enough.

It's about health, not potential promiscuity.

As the only South Dakota blogger out with 5 daughters, I feel I need to weigh in on the whole discussion that's occurring with regards to the HPV vaccine, and Governor Rounds' proposal to make it available. My family (including my three oldest girls) watched my mom, their grandmother, succumb slowly and painfully to cancer which spread throughout her body. If a similar fate from a different type of cancer was preventable through a simple shot, why wouldn't anyone advocate for it? At the age most of my kids are going to be getting it, they're still playing with barbies, and negative influences such as most of the programming on MTV, and other assorted trashy television is verboten in my house. All they're going to know about this vaccination is that it's a shot, just like for teatnus or measles. They'll go "Ow, I don't want a shot," and that will be it. Just another mark on their vaccination record. One check box for DPT, one for HPV, and so on
