Just guessing, but I predict that Bob's coaching resume will not be getting an update after the events of the last few weeks.

Mmmhmm.

I am not a social worker or an addiction worker, and of course I stand outside this situation (despite following it obsessively), but I have done research with substance abusers and social workers and I'm finding it pretty hard to believe that a man with years of poly-substance abuse behind him is "good enough to stand on his own" after a few months, even before we consider what external stresses a man in Ford's position must be under. (I will acknowledge that Ford could be getting some other form of support, but it does not seem at all unreasonable to expect him to explain what that is and be accountable to the citizens of Toronto for following through with it, given his history.)

You guys called it. Clearly they weren't happy with the globe story.

And given how little RoFo learned in spahab, the idea that he doesn't need supervision is laughable.

Guess we can start the relapse watch in earnest.

Apparently not, given his new toe injury.

 

[YYZ2YHZ]

Probably a follow-up from the foot X-ray.

Wonder if they will be forthcoming about the nature of the injury of his toe?

"Hey doc, my toe hurts. You got any o' them percoset? Or some hezza? Hell, whatyagot, I'll take it!"

Doug Ford confirms Mayor Rob Ford will have toe surgery next week #TOpoli

Just don't give him painkillers.

I wonder what he'll be wearing today.

@L23 Drug-seeking behaviour. Hadn't thought of that!

Oh yes! Nirvana unplugged is the choice music for today thanks to this !!

Ford calls Warmington from the hospital.

"Surgery is amazing. I had the best surgery ever!"
