Charles Krauthammer 'still recovering' from mystery surgery, promises: 'I'll be back'
Washington Examiner ^ | Nov. 14, 2017 | Daniel Chatin

Conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer says he is making progress in his recovery from post-surgery complications and promised to his fans on Fox News that he will return.

"Thanks to all for your cards, letters and good wishes. I am still recovering from major surgery 12 weeks ago. I have graduated from the ICU to an advanced rehab facility to regain my strength and stamina," Krauthammer said in a note shared by Fox News host Bret Baier on Tuesday. Krauthammer is a panelist on Baier's show, "Special Report."

Glad to see something about Charles. His surgery must've been really severe to require what will be more than 12 weeks of ICU care followed by care at an "advanced rehab facility." In 2015 I had surgery for stage II colon cancer (so far, still so good), was in the hospital about four days, and required ten days of rehab. However, I'm not a paraplegic. Prayers and good wished for Charles and his family.

I wish him well.

And I hope he retires. I don’t like his politics.

Ditto. He’s not quite as virulent an anti-Trumper as Kristol or Will, but he comes close.

Last I heard, removing your head from your arse IS a very complicated surgery with a lengthy recovery. In the case of RINOs, it also has a low success rate with a high frequency of relapse.

Probably had to have all that Trump bile surgically removed.

Prayers up, for Charles. He is NOT, however, a conservative. Misleading first sentence.

Amazing what they can do these days. He had brain surgery. Surgically implanting some “clues.” He can now end a lifetime of being clueless.

Wasn’t the Kraut also a brain surgeon in his earlier life?

Yes, I just posted a kindly little note, and everybody jumps on a poor, recovering invalid who’s had a really hard time with whatever surgery it was, and it had to be a BIG MOTHAH.

Cranium rectal inversion reversal surgery is a delicate procedure with a long recovery time.

Being quadriplegic, he does not seem to have any respiratory reserve when he speaks, it seems labored. If he had a major surgery, it may have been a very prolonged time to get him off the ventilator. Sounds like a long road.

Maybe Jennifer Rubin can help him, full time, in his prolonged convalescence.
