When he returned from hospital to white house, he went on a balcony or stairway at the white house and was visibly having trouble breathing. I'm guessing he was very ill and on a ventilator while getting the best treatment in the world.

The Drs reported that they had to pressure him to go to the hospital when he did by telling him if he waited any longer he would not be able to do so under his own power and he would be transported on a gurney. That is what got him to acknowledge he was deeply ill.

Whatever it is, I hope it is very painful and ultimately terminal. I don't feel the least bit of concern saying this.
