2. Hillary said last night

that there would be NO reports until next week (she told the reporters to go home and enjoy the long weekend)

surgery will *probably* be on Tuesday. possibly Monday but not before.

4. they gave him a bunch of blood thinners and they don't want to cut

until that levels out or he won't clot--They say Tuesday at this point;

(plavix)

5. Makes sense. Thanks, librechik. n/t

3. surgery Tuesday

Before his angiogram, they gave him Plavix, a blood thinner, in case they did a stent and angioplasty. It takes a few days to get out of his system. The thoracic surgeons prefer to wait a few days.
