Thumbs up Senator Mark Kirk recovers from stroke and...asks for his Blackberry!
After suffering a stroke and undergoing emergency surgery, the doctor says he's better than expected, asking for his Blackberry.

What??? Recovering in a hospital bed after nearly losing his life and the first thing he wants is his Berry??!!!? This addiction runs deep!

I probably would have asked for the same thing.
Glad to hear he's OK.

BlackBerry was my constant companion in the hospital last year. With Wi-Fi, I was able to continue using it while in a CT Scanner. It was with me so much that we even had an X-ray with it in my Johnny pocket.

They were shooting me a lower region. It was driving the lady tech crazy because her iPhone wouldn't pick up the Wi-Fi, but my 'antique' Style could.
