Schwarzenegger is getting older, and being sworn in on January 5th for a second term, future Arnie films are more doubtful. The Governator is proving to be less durable as he might have been in his younger days.
The actor-turned-California governator is recovering nicely, however, after undergoing surgery Tuesday at a Los Angeles hospital to repair a broken leg he suffered while skiing over the holiday weekend.
“Following the surgery, the governor was awake, alert and talking in the recovery room,” orthopedic surgeon Dr. Kevin Erhart said in a statement. “He is now fully coherent and I have cleared him to resume his duties as governor.”
According to the Santa Monica-based doctor, a combination of cables and screws were used to “wire the two main fragments of the governor’s broken femur bone back together.” The “relatively common” procedure lasted about an hour and a half, and the post-op X-rays “look great.”
It is good to see Schwarzenegger is doing well. He is nearly 60. The man just may never return to films. At least not the same way he did before. I dont know that he is that good of an actor that he can do anything else. I like him as an action star, but I have no interest in him as a political figure.
Unless he becomes President. That would make me smile.
I liked Demolition Man.
