Former president Bush undergoes hip replacement at Mayo Clinic

ROCHESTER, Minn. Former President George Bush was in physical therapy at the Mayo Clinic today after hip replacement surgery.
A Mayo Clinic spokesman says the surgery to replace Bush's right hip yesterday was a success.

The 82-year-old former president is expected to be released yet this week.

Bush had his left hip replaced at the Mayo Clinic in 2000. Former first lady Barbara Bush also had successful hip replacement surgery there in 1997.

8. Well, it was his right hip. So no, he's not hip. :)
Seriously, I hope he gets well soon.

We had a friend w/ long hair and beard and a V.W. van w/ "buzz wagon"
painted on the side ..... he kept complaining that "fucking pigs" were always
hassling him ..... the pot leaf didn't help either.

:rofl:

6. Timing is everything
What a coincidence.
Poppy Bush accidentally selected the opening day of the new congress to chisel a little news focus.
Normal Republicon procedure is for the politician in trouble - Junior Bush in this case- to run for the hospital they way Poppy and Ronnie did before him.

14. i wonder if he pays for services at any of these hospitals he usually checks in for one service
Edited on Thu Jan-04-07 06:24 PM by flordehinojos
or another. back shortly after he lost the presidency to bill clinton, he was in the miami area, who knows for what nefarious goings-on when he broke his arm and was taken to jackson-memorial hospital, the county hospital as well as the um teaching hospital, to have his arm repaired there.

did he ever pay for his bill there? did they ever bill him or his insurance? or, just because he is a bush does he get a free pass like the one the propaganda media gives him and his sons all of the time?

he was in pain during the funeral. That explains it.

33. They did a great bit on Stephanie Miller this morning
it was suppose to be Poppy speaking to his doctor before his surgery assuring him that no matter what he might say while under anesthesia, Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone.
