Bernie Sanders is recovering from an elective out-patient hernia repair tonight. He had the procedure done at George Washington University Hospital. There is no word on what type of hernia he had corrected. There are many types, none of them fun to rectify.
I had an inguinal hernia repaired just a little over a year ago. It was no laughing matter, I can assure you. The Washington Post is reporting that he intends on returning to the Senate as soon as tomorrow. I hope he decides to rest for a few days instead. I understand the urgency of the moment, but this would take the wind of the sails for anyone. There will be time for a speedy return to politics as soon as he has decent time to recover.
Sending well-wishes tonight to Bernie Sanders for a quick recovery and quick return to kick some ass.
