Hillary Clinton has just experienced something that other women understand completely! [View all]

And many men, too, I might add.

It's the experience of being sick, but having a job to do. So you don't wimp out. You push the limits. Because you know you have to.

I wish her a speedy and complete recovery. I hope she can find a little down time to properly take care of herself. I doubt that will be possible, but it is important.

She's human. What a surprise.
