I was listening to NPR and they said he is still recuperating from his heart surgery. I thought he was at home but they noted that this is why he has done no campaigning for Kerry. Could his health be in more danger than we’ve been told?

You don’t need to be in a hospital to recuperate.

He left the hospital on [Sept. 20](http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5906976/)  
Did he go back?

> Clinton, 58, underwent surgery in New York City on Sept. 6 after complaining of chest pain and shortness of breath. He has been recovering at home in Chappaqua just north of New York City and has recently been going on walks and chatting with other residents.

He may have just gone to the hospital for a routine post-op check-up.

Cool.  
I’ll bet we hear more from him before the election.
