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.

This man has a family. Your comment is disgusting but not surprising. It’s unfortunate and indicative of what this once great site has become.

Dizzy and Pee Wee. Great fun for this young boy at the time.

In one boring game, the TV camera kept going to a young couple in the bleachers making out. Pee Wee kept saying, "What are they doing out there, DIz?"

Eventually Diz reported, "I've figured it out. He's kissing her on the strikes, and she's kissing him on the balls."

Having a family doesn’t confer the right to screw over millions of other people who have families...does it?

If they are waiting for a pathology report, there’s more here than we have been told.

Senator McCain is entitled to medical privacy, of course. Given his melanoma history, though, this is of great concern.

This might explain his bizarre and nearly incoherent questioning in some of the recent hearings (more than usual, anyway).

I won’t condemn anyone for what they did under torture. But I will for what they did as a senator.

Why is this a concern? It’s McCain’s head, and he hasn’t used that in years.

Ask the loved ones of our MIA from the VN “conflict” how they feel then maybe you will understand the ill will towards McCain. He and John Kerry. Two peas in a pod.

It isn’t supposed to be a career
