the INEVITABLE

Well what a surprise... Tommy was hospitalized early Thursday morning.. heard through the grapevine or else we'd be clueless as to where he is. God forbid anyone should inform the family.

Weren't we just in court Tuesday the 2nd once again fighting for proper healthcare? Only the umpteenth time we've addressed his medical issues in court since his incarceration on June 4, 2008.

Anyhow... unfortunately he has had "what a appears to be" a mini stroke/Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA), although his tests results are not in as of yet. Here's some info on what a TIA is http://www.everydayhealth.com/senior-health/stroke/warning-signs-and-symptoms.aspx

As we know Thomas Gioeli suffers from diabetes, and has not been receiving proper diabetic care. The medical staff at MDC recently made the decision to stop his cholesterol pills. High cholesterol and diabetes are both causes of a TIA.

A TIA is a WARNING STROKE and preludes a stroke. Hopefully the government takes this seriously and provides him with the adequate healthcare that we have been fighting for since his incarceration.

How UNFORTUNATE that it has to come to this... and yet HOW LUCKY we are that we were blessed with a warning and not the worst case scenerio.

Tommy has been in the hospital for 4 days now. He has not been allowed to call his family. We have not been granted a visit... hopefully YET. Don't we have rights? If this is not cruel and unusual punishment then I don't know what is.

I'm sure he is shackled to the bed even though he has 3? 4? 5?+, armed Federal Marshalls guarding him 24-hours a day. Last time he was in the hospital he was shackled while doctors put a stent in his heart. IMAGINE! Shackled during surgery! WHAT WILL THEY THINK OF NEXT! Where's he going to go? The Marshalls were in on his surgery, didn't wash in, didn't wear proper attire, were talking on their cellphones...and that's only the half. But about the shackles, he can't even get up, can't even speak, can't move his leg or he'll bleed to death, but he's shackled. NECESSITY? OR A CASE OF "I WILL BECAUSE I CAN" from power-tripping marshalls? YOU DECIDE...I'm not even going to get into his other hospital stays right now because I don't feel like getting myself sick.


SAY A PRAYER FOR HIM...EVEN IF HIS BODY FAILS HIM, HIS MIND IS STRONGER THAN EVER.

YOU CAN TIE OUR HANDS AND PUSH OUR BACKS AGAINST THE WALL BUT WE WILL NEVER, NEVER, NEVER STOP FIGHTING. ALWAYS STRONGER THAN YESTERDAY.

GOD BLESS AMERICA, FREE YOUR MIND.
