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.

Prayer for the speedy and happy death of one who is seriously ill.


O Blessed Joseph, you gave your last breath in the loving embrace of Jesus and Mary. When the seal of death shall close my life, come with Jesus and Mary to aid me. Obtain for me this solace for that hour - to die with their holy arms around me. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I commend my soul, living and dying, into your sacred arms. Amen

We’re probably among the few here who remember Dizzy Dean and the weekend CBS-TV broadcasts of Major League Baseball.

A blood clot in the brain -—— isn’t that evidence of a stroke?

I’m not a medical doctor so I really don’t know. I’m just asking

Grandpa always said you couldn’t wish anyone dead but you could pray for a happy death.

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

There are at least 25 Senators in their 70’s now. Too much at stake to let it continue.

Like the time the Yankees brought in reliever Ryne Duren . . .as he walked to the mound from the bullpen, Dizzy looked at the NY roster and announced, with hesitation:

The new Yankee pitcher will be . . . Ron Noren

My parents had conniptions, we all loved Dizzy’s broadcasts
