MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Vermont U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy has undergone a second surgery to help repair a broken hip, his office said Wednesday.
Leahy, 82, fell and broke his hip last month in his Virginia home. He underwent hip-replacement surgery June 30 at a Washington-area hospital. He was then moved to a rehabilitation center.
On Wednesday, Leahy’s office said his surgeons found it necessary to perform an additional operation on the hip “to help advance his recovery.”
Leahy was back in his rehabilitation room by Tuesday evening. He is working with physical therapists “to return home as soon as possible.”

Nice guy.
Hope he has a good rehab, two or three years, in Vermont.

Well, no doubt he will get THE BEST care possible, something not granted to the rest of us unwashed.
But even in spite of that, the odds appear to be against him. By the time a second surgery is needed, things are already not going well.
Gee Pat, I sure hope you are in incredible pain through all this pal.
He already mumbles like a drunkard. I can't imagine trying to make sense of what he was saying when he's full of pain pills.
True, and many of them die within 18 months also.
Old leftys with Platinum health plans tend to go a long time.
“A bad person who has done a lot of damage to the country and our freedom.”
Yup. Remember when Bush II had just recently been elected and sworn into office in January, 2001? The GOP controlled the Senate 50-50, with VP Cheney being the tie-breaker. Then, the treacherous “Jumpin,” Jim Jeffords, a nominal Republican, switched to” Independent,” but caucused with the Dems, throwing the Senate to the Dems. Well, the utterly insufferable Patrick Leahy instantly became the Chair of the Senate Judicial Committee; and at his first press conference the first words out of his mouth were, “All of President Bush’s judicial nominees are DOA.”
Leahy is a dead man “not walking”. Broken hip in a man his age is a downhill slope at best.
This is a terrible thing to say but I hope the bastard drops dead!! My distain for these people is overwhelming!!
Hope it doesn’t go well
Isn’t Vermont s Govn’r a Republican? If Leaky Leahy dies then the govnr appt ints his replacement!
New England Republican = Democrat. Don’t get your hopes up.
Evil man. He’ll live a long time. In pain.
“Another one of our infamous geriatric leaders. Can we get someone under 70?”
Oh yeah, like AOC, or George P. Bush for example?
Gosh, I sure hope it isn’t painful, like, really really painful.
RINO Sen Lowell Weiker used to let Ted Kennedy vote for him when Weiker was out of the senate. I’m not sure how that worked
Moving him from a rehab place for a second surgery to “enhance his recovery?”
Okay, whatever.
Not sure about the gov
It's a near perfect job for the lazy and slothful. You get paid a lot and don't have to do anything. Why would you ever retire?
