From The Beacon News:
U.S. Rep. J. Dennis Hastert is recovering from gall bladder surgery at Rush University Medical Center, according to his office.
Hastert's press secretary, Brad Hahn, confirmed that Hastert had his gall bladder removed Friday, and is still in the hospital recuperating. He is expected to make a full recovery, Hahn said, although no time has been set for his release.
Hahn said that Hastert is anxious to get back to work.
"He's restless," Hahn said. "It's just a matter of when the doctors give him the green light (to go home)."
As it stands, Hastert is uncertain where he will spend Super Bowl Sunday, and Hahn wouldn't rule out the possibility that the congressman might have to watch the game from his hospital bed.
"He's a big Bears fan," Hahn said, "and he is looking forward to watching the Super Bowl, wherever he is."
