RUSH: Let me start with an attempt \u2013 I still have the remnants of the flu, but everything is fine, folks. I need to find a way beyond what I\u2019ve already done to express my heartfelt gratitude and thanks and appreciation for the outpouring that continues to come in from people. I can\u2019t respond to all of it. I\u2019m starting to feel guilty about it. Because so many people are sending me — people that I haven\u2019t heard from in I don\u2019t know how long and finding a way to reach me, finding a way to get through to me and I\u2019m reading these notes, and it\u2019s so voluminous, I can\u2019t respond to it all. I try, but I lose ground so quickly.<\/p>\n

And then I start feeling guilty that I don\u2019t respond because people are taking — some of these notes that you\u2019re sending, most of them are so heartfelt, they are so intimately detailed. It\u2019s because of that I can\u2019t tell you how much it means to me. I can\u2019t. I wish I knew how. I\u2019m thinking there are more prayers for me in this country than can be counted, than can be tabulated. And I just am confident as heck that they matter, that they\u2019re effective. So please accept this as an ongoing and never-ending thank-you to everybody.<\/p>\n

And please be confident that more than likely I\u2019ll see what you send me, even if I don\u2019t have a chance to respond to it all. And one little housekeeping thing. I have not been openly clear about the procedure that I have opted for. And because of my numerous absences over the past three weeks, a lot of people have assumed things, and I want to try to fix that too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no big deal. And I\u2019m not gonna get intimately detailed because, as this Mayor Pete thing shows<\/a>, the Drive-By Media just refuses to get it right about me. In fact, they purposely distort, they knee-jerk react and accuse me of saying things and doing things I haven\u2019t said or done. So I\u2019m not gonna get into any detail because, A, it\u2019s nobody\u2019s business; B, it would ignite all kinds of untold investigations.<\/p>\n

The only thing I can tell you is I haven\u2019t yet begun treatment. Now, the reason I haven\u2019t begun treatment is that the kind of treatment I have chosen requires me to be an ox everywhere else in my body. And so I have been undergoing for the past month or three weeks, whatever the length of time is, interrupted by the flu and interrupted by a necessary medical procedure, I have been undergoing tests to determine my physical strength throughout the rest of my body in order to be able to withstand what they\u2019re gonna throw at me.<\/p>\n

No, it is not dog worm medicine. I actually had somebody suggest that, but that\u2019s not what it is. I think I\u2019m gonna be cleared for it. It\u2019s kind of, well, “frustrating” is the wrong word, but as I\u2019ve undergone these medical exams — and these have been rigorous, exhausting medical exams and tests — I have found that I am the picture of health everywhere else in my glorious and lovely body, which is a good thing because those reservoirs and reserves apparently will — maybe. I mean, the side effects and so forth are not known until you actually begin.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s state-of-the-art. It is nothing that I am missing by not talking to every expert in the world. I\u2019ve been anticipating this, I\u2019ve have had a team of doctors assembled for quite a while. And so this course of action, if the battery of tests that were completed last week come in with flying colors today, then the treatment will start this week.<\/p>\n

The only reason I\u2019m telling you this is because people continue to ask, “So how you reacting? Is the treatment working?” It hasn\u2019t even started yet, folks. There have been a number of things — it would have if I hadn\u2019t had the flu for a week. You gotta stop everything while that happened. And then I needed a related surgical, medical procedure, which also delayed by a week the ongoing testing and the necessary discoveries to see if I can withstand it, my body can withstand what they\u2019re gonna throw at this.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I feel very confident about it. And I\u2019d love to give you the details. It\u2019s just that some things have to remain private, and if I wold divulge details these clowns in the media would get hold of it and totally distort it on purpose. And those of you who had not heard me explain it would get a completely distorted view, no doubt, about what I had said. It\u2019s really fascinating. You cannot — somebody like me, most conservatives in the media cannot rely on anybody else to report what they have said, what we have said accurately and honestly.<\/p>\n
