Colorado Gov. Hickenlooper has successful hip surgery (and gets some ribbing from his staff)
The word from Gov. John Hickenlooper's Twitter account on Tuesday (Sept. 3) was good in the wake of his hip arthroscopy procedure: "Doc says surgery was a success. Thank you for kind words and well wishes #hiptastic"
So now it's time for a few days of healing at home, then back to work as Colorado Governor and Chairman of the Western Governors' Association.
Perhaps it's no surprise, given the Governor's own quick wit, but before surgery his staff came up with the list "Top 10 Things You Need to Know About the Governor’s Surgery."
We're guessing Gov. Hickenlooper is getting a few smiles from the list, even if the jokes are at his expense. After all, laughter IS the best medicine, right?
We'll give you one of the items: "This puts the governor on injured reserve, but we expect him to be ready by mid season for more Peyton Manning passes."
