"Funny man Dangerfield recovers from 7-hour surgery
More than a week after undergoing a laborious and risky heart-valve replacement surgery, comedian Rodney Dangerfield remains in stable condition in intensive care at UCLA Medical Center. The 82-year-old funny man prepared for the seven-hour surgery by undergoing a brain by-pass surgery in April to increase blood flow throughout his body. Before entering the operating room, Dangerfield joked: "If things go right, I'll be there about a week and if things don't go right, I'll be there about an hour and a half."
Though still on a respirator, Dangerfield?s procedure was free of complications, and his publicist, Kevin Sasaki, expects doctors to make a statement on Dangerfield?s condition soon."
