Get Well Soon, Robin Williams


Robin Williams underwent heart valve replacement surgery at the Cleveland Clinic yesterday and he is recovering nicely. Here is the statement from his doctor:

"Mr. Williams' operation went extremely well and we expect him to make a full recovery. The 3 1/2 hour heart surgery was conducted to replace his aortic valve, repair his mitral valve, and correct his irregular heart beat. His heart is strong and he will have a normal heart function in the coming weeks with no limitations on what he'll be able to do.A couple of hours after surgery, he was entertaining the medical team and making us laugh."

He is in good hands. My mother had her heart valve replacement surgery there and she's doing fine a decade later.

I'm with ya, anon. Here's hoping that he gets a new lease on life and starts to produce some more truly brilliant comedy. The world needs it right now!
