Bob Dole hospitalized, undergoing therapy - Yahoo! News

WASHINGTON – Former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole is recuperating at Walter Reed Army Medical Center after a bout with pneumonia, his spokesman said Monday.

Dole, 86, was admitted to the military hospital about three weeks ago with a respiratory condition, spokesman Michael Marshall said. Dole soon recovered but has remained at the hospital to undergo physical therapy for knee surgery he underwent late last year.

"Thanks to the great doctors and nurses at Walter Reed, I am making great strides, working between (therapy) sessions and hope to be fully recovered and back at the office in a few weeks," Dole said in a statement.
Marshall said the pneumonia set Dole back and that he would need more time in the hospital to regain his strength.

Dole overcame disabling war wounds to forge a 36-year political career. In the early 1990s, he underwent successful surgery for prostate cancer, and in 2001 he had surgery to treat an aneurysm.

Great man, I hope he makes a full recovery soon.

All the best to him. While we disagreed on many political issues. He served his country as he thought best and was a brave veteran.

Yep. While I didn't agree with him on a lot of policy issues we sure could use a lot more people like him around DC these days. They're a dying breed.

Get well soon, Bob.

I am with you on that one, and he is a good man. I think his wife is evil, but that isn't his fault.
I hope he makes a full recovery and has no complications.

I agree. Although him and I disagree on many issues, I have more respect for him than most - and I always like a man who can laugh at himself....
