First Lady Laura Bush resting after neck surgery (Roundup)
Sep 9, 2007, 2:42 GMT
Washington - US First Lady Laura Bush underwent outpatient surgery Saturday to treat a nerve problem in her neck, the White House said.
The procedure, a posterior cervical foraminotomy, was performed to relieve pressure near the spine on pinched nerves in her neck. The operation was successful, said press secretary Sally McDonough of the Office of the First Lady.
She returned later Saturday to the White House, the presidential residence, where she was 'resting comfortably,' McDonough said.
The surgery took two and a half hours at nearby George Washington University Hospital.
Afterward, the first lady spoke by telephone with her husband, US President George W Bush, who was flying home aboard Air Force One from the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Sydney. He later made a stop in Hawaii and was due to arrive Sunday morning at the White House.

had a pain in the neck and the doctors have removed it. The pain was identified as the George W. bush pain that most sane Americans have. It's been noted that crazy or insane people don't know it exists because they are immune to the pain and it gives them sexual pleasure. SP4 is on a 30 day orgasm right now.
