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.

Megan is a regular cohost on Outnumbered every day, comes on here at 9 a.m. I don’t watch the whole show but click in for a while now and then. IIRC she wasn’t on Friday

My mother used to tell me if you don’t have anything nice to say about a traitorous, corrupt, and murderous old man who’s having brain surgery then you shouldn’t say anything at all. My mother is a wise woman.
Maybe he’ll get the Joan Rivers treatment.
so what kind of a governor do we have in Arizona?
Drove english teachers nuts when he’d say, “He slud into second”
Me and my dad liked him so much we always bought Ole Diz Charcoal. “Pardners, you’ll like it”
In McCains case they won’t need a big ice cream scoop - maybe one of the little melon ballers.
D’oh!
D’oh!
A craniotomy? They removed his brain? But he had so little to spare...

Good.
I wish you the worst possible outcome, John.
Checked it out yesterday on webMD. They said sign of a stroke or heart disease. Yet they sent him home. Hmmmmm?
Someone mentioned it was the same area as one of his past melanoma. May be why they are waiting for results from a biopsy
Strangely coincidental that his role in the dossier is coming under scrutiny. Certainly wish him no ill will, I just think we may have seen the last of McCain.
Known fact stress causes health issues .
Not only is the dossier on deck. There’s a picture if Juan with Russian attorney.
Lots of stress in near future.
Agree Westerner and I think I alluded to the fact the MD I noted is in a teaching role.
We all die. Some of us are fortunate enough to get old before it happens.
I save my sympathies for those good people with so much to offer that do not get the opportunity to get old.
We are?
