LISBON, Portugal – A Lisbon hospital says it has discharged the 97-year-old mother of U.S. Senator John McCain after a weeklong stay following a fall.

The Sao Jose hospital said Wednesday that Roberta McCain left the neurology ward where she had been under observation.

Senator McCain's office in Washington said his mother had fainted and injured her head last Thursday while on vacation in the Portuguese capital.

It said McCain's wife Cindy would accompany her mother-in-law home.

I just don’t give a crap about McPain or anyone in his family... I’m tired of hearing about him.

I noticed she had a fall, at first I thought she was over there to circumvent Obama’s hospital snuff out squads.

Kudos to any 97 year-old American who is able and willing to vacation overseas.

I hope she returns to full functionality without complications.

It does occur to me that this woman wouldn’t even have been admitted to a hospital at her advanced age under Obamacare.

Perhaps John should have counseled Cindy not to do anything other than give her a pain pill. We all know there’s too much testing going on... /s

Yep. That’s the kind of sensitivity that will encourage people to look at the ideas and visions of Republicans and / or conservatives.

Prayers for a quintessential “lady”! She served the country with grace, as a stalwart Navy wife, through a demanding father-in-law admiral during WWII, a highly respected submariner husband who was continually deployed, and son that was captured and tortured in a North Vietnamese hell hole.

I’m no fan of John McCain, but I do like Roberta’s feistiness. For a 97-year-old to have the sharpness and physical presence she has is amazing.
