The condition for which Senator John McCain had surgery on Friday may be more serious than initial descriptions have implied, and it may delay his return to Washington by at least a week or two, medical experts said on Sunday.
Usually, a blood clot in this area would be a very concerning issue, said Dr. Nrupen Baxi, an assistant professor of neurosurgery at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City.
He added, The recovery time from a craniotomy is usually a few weeks at least a week or two.
A statement from the Mayo Clinic Hospital said that the senator was recovering well and in good spirits at home, and that tissue pathology reports would come back in several days.

That cancer history could have prompted Mr. McCains doctors to scan his brain even in the absence of symptoms, some doctors said.The scan showed nothing.

Is his daughter Megan still a regular speaker on Fox?
If she is, and Megan is absent this coming week, one may presume the situation with her dad is more serious than what the press has indicated.

John McCain has a serious issue with his cranium, wow, sounds serious, have the Medical Professionals considered amputation in order to save the natio... I mean patient...
I think Johnny Boy met with some medical professions in Syria a while back that specialize in such procedures...

It’s probably best that I not say what I want to say on a public forum.

Hillary did recently say something about the GOP being the party of Death. I wonder if she was projecting.

This is the procedure where they use a can opener to remove the very top of the skull and scoop out the offending mass with an ice cream scoop, I hear they are flying in the scoop from a baskin robbins in Hawaii where Obama once worked because it is the only medical related device from the Obama era that actually works.
