My Father had this same surgery a month ago today and he is 81 and in exceptional shape but he isn't bouncing back either. He is doing very well and is now walking well and on his own but it doesn't matter how old you are. When you have this type of traumatic surgery it takes a while to recover no matter what age you are.
Clinton probably has been pushing it so that he can be at his library opening and has done too much. You just can't rush a recovery from this type of surgery.

I had bypass surgery in 1988. Two weeks, to the day, after my surgery I was in the attic running the wires for and installing a ceiling fan. The very next day I took my boat out to go fishing.....that included hooking up the trailer, launching the boat, operating the boat, releasing and retrieving the anchor, catching fish and getting the boat back on the trailer, driving home, cleaning the boat and cleaning the fish.

Methinks that there are many pseudo-medical-experts on this thread.
