September 25, 2023
SHERRI Shepherd has extended her talk show hiatus after falling ill.
She shared an update with her fans after abruptly taking the program off the air last week.
Season Two of Sherri premiered on Monday, September 18.
However, the show shut down production just a few days later when Sherri tested positive for Covid-19.
It is not clear exactly when the 56-year-old is returning to the show, but it appears she is on the mend.
In the comments, fans told her to "take her time" getting back, "rest up," and to "feel better soon."

Dem Rep Jennifer Wexton will not seek re-election after 'Parkinson's on steroids' diagnosis
September 18, 2023
Democrat Virginia Rep. Jennifer Wexton announced that she would not be seeking re-election after being diagnosed with "Parkinson's on steroids." Wexton, 54, issued a press release on Monday announcing that her doctors had changed her diagnosis from Parkinson's Disease to Progressive Supra-nuclear Palsy. The Democrat congresswoman said that she "knew that the road ahead would have its challenges" after sharing her initial diagnosis in April and that she's been navigating "those challenges through consistent treatments and therapies." "But I wasn't making the progress to manage my symptoms that I had hoped, and I noticed the women in my Parkinson's support group weren't having the same experience that I was," Wexton said. "I sought out additional medical opinions and testing, and my doctors modified my diagnosis to Progressive Supra-nuclear Palsey — a kind of ‘Parkinson's on steroids,'" she continued. The Virginia congresswoman said there is "no ‘getting better’ with PSP" and that she plans to "continue treatment options" to keep her symptoms in check, but added the treatments "don't work as well" with her new diagnosis as they did for her Parkinson's diagnosis.

“Vaccinated” on December 22, 2020—the first day that the shots were publicly administered—Wexton came under fire for rushing to get jabbed in front of healthcare workers and others who “needed” it more than she did.
Kevin Reynolds, Husband of Iowa's Governor, Diagnosed with Lung Cancer
September 21, 2023
Kevin Reynolds, Kim Reynolds' husband and the first gentleman of Iowa, has been found to have lung cancer. Governor Reynolds herself made the announcement. There's optimism about his treatment thanks to current progress in lung cancer care, and both Kevin and Kim expressed their thankfulness for their health care team. Kim, who has been married to Kevin for more than 40 years, affectionately described him as her 'anchor'.
Although highly critical of Biden’s “vaccine” mandate (she signed a law affirming Iowans’ right to bodily autonomy), Gov. Reynolds was herself “vaccinated” (as, presumably, her husband was as well):

Golfer Gary Woodland Recovering After Having Surgery to Remove ‘Majority’ of Brain Tumor
September 20, 2023
Gary Woodland is in the process of recovering after having surgery to remove a brain tumor. “After a long surgery, the majority of the tumor has been removed and he is currently resting,” read a statement shared via Woodland’s Instagram page on Monday, September 18. “At this time, the family requests space and privacy to be together. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers as he gets started on the road to recovery.” Back in August, Woodland shared that he would be having surgery the following month to remove a lesion found on his brain. “I was diagnosed a few months ago and have been trying to treat symptoms with medication,” he wrote via Instagram. “After consulting with multiple specialists and discussing with my family, we’ve made the decision that surgery to remove the lesion is the best course of action.”
LSU Safety Greg Brooks undergoes emergency surgery to remove brain tumor
September 21, 2023
Greg Brooks, an LSU starting safety and team captain, was diagnosed last week with a ''large brain tumor'' and underwent emergency surgery Friday to remove it, according to a statement from his family. ''Greg Jr. was diagnosed last week with a large brain tumor that required emergency surgery,'' the family said in a statement circulating on social media Wednesday morning that was verified by LSU. ''Doctors successfully performed the procedure Friday to remove the mass, and we are awaiting biopsy results.'' Brooks experienced what he described as vertigo during preseason camp. He practiced again when the feeling dissipated and played in the first two games - but Brooks had ''another episode of dizziness'' last Wednesday, coach Brian Kelly said. ''Finally, we said enough's enough and we got an MRI,'' Kelly said on the Southeastern Conference coaches teleconference Wednesday after Brooks' family announced the diagnosis. ''That's when the tumor was located. The vertigo was just a symptom of what was obviously a larger issue.'' Brooks was not with the team during LSU's 41-14 win over Mississippi State because of what Kelly had called a ''medical emergency.'' Afterward, Kelly dedicated the game ball to Brooks, and teammates raised three fingers for his No. 3 jersey.

Thanks for this all the time. It just gets worse and worse. People I know still getting jabs, although suffering various illnesses, including quite a few with atrial fibrillation. They want to know how it can be connected to the “ vaccs” Think I’m nuts for suggesting it, although nothing before shots! So sad.
So sad Mark. It must be depressing to have to gather all that information. It’s depressing for me to read it.
