May she recover fully and bring more laughs to us all. This is making me really sad- I could only take her humor in small doses, sometimes she was a little too mean-spirited, but she is one tough gal.
These last few years she was getting really vulgar too. Crass. But, she has brought me many laughs also.

...routine outpatient vocal chord procedure, went into cardiac & respiratory arrest...after arriving at the hospital, plan of care was determined to be placing her in a medically induced coma to allow healing, but her condition worsened-the biggest concern I see right now, is whether her body will voluntarily breathe-once they attempt a wean off the ventilator...

As a brit, I have not had too much exposure to her, I have seen her on a few comedy panel shows over here, she was quite funny, used the self mocking line of gags and the "I can rip on Jews because I'm a Jew" thing a bit too much, but she was quite good, especially for a woman in her 70s (then) and to be still going like she was at 81 is quite amazing.

I hope she pulls through, but a heart attack during surgery at 81....it sounds grim.

Looks like she's still on life support, as of 2 hours ago.
lnky
....and the longer she remains on, the less likely she'll ever be able to be taken off and be a human being again-if, as I suspect-the damage wrought on her body by this incident is more profound then anyone is letting on-then Melissa will be faced with a heart-wrending decision...
