NTR - Ophelia Ford gravely ill
Ophelia Ford hospitalized, said to be very ill

Updated: Dec 12, 2007 04:40 PM CST



Action News 5 has learned Tennessee State Senator Ophelia Ford has been hospitalized, and family members have grave concerns about her health.

Ford has been in and out of the hospital for nearly a year, plagued with health issues. Most recently, she checked in to a hospital two weeks, where she has remained since.

Wednesday, sources would not say what is causing her condition, though in the past, Ford herself has admitted she suffers from anemia.

Ford's brother, Shelby County Commissioner Joe Ford, confirmed Wednesday that she was hospitalized in stable condition at Methodist University Hospital.

While Ford checked in two weeks ago, her condition has worsened in the past week.

At this time, loved ones are rallying around her, praying for a recovery.

You're right fuzzy. I was trying not to say anything like Mom always said (if you don't have anything nice to say...), but I just couldn't stop myself.

I hope she gets better soon. I wonder if she's got something else wrong with her - I wonder if it's Sickle Cell (sp) and they just aren't saying that. It would take a stronger woman to step down and fight head on instead of staying in office and wearing herself out. Get well soon, Ophelia!

RE: NTR - Ophelia Ford gravely ill
it is called ALCOHOLISM. i watched her stumble around like a homeless wino in a local liquor store over Thanksgiving, trying to passa check that the store wouldn't take, dressed like a bum in ratty pajama-like threads, barely coherent as she was told to go get cash and come back for the pile of liquor....

i swear she looked like an absolute homless person, until she got in her Black Esclade Tank with state employee tags and lurched off.


why, oh why, do people vote for that family?

Why indeed!
THat is a terrible story and why don't they just admit her problem and sign her in somewhere!
Noone is allowed to stay in a hospital that long nowdays unless she is on lock down or something.
That family has sure shown their real colors now!
This may be her last chance to get straight.
I hope for her sake, she takes it.

She obviously needs help and I hope she gets it, listens and acts before it's too late.

She could also suffer from severe diabetes...left untreated, it's been known to make people act very strange depending upon the types of food and drink they consume...alchoholism may be the least of her problems.
