Fmr. VP Cheney at GW Hospital

Former Vice President Dick Cheney was admitted to the GW Hospital for spinal surgery, the Washington Times reports.

Mr. Cheney, 68, reportedly has a condition called lumbar spinal stenosis, a condition that causes pain in the back, buttocks, thighs, and calves. The surgery will relieve pressure on the nerves that are causing the pain.


Cheney was frequently admitted to the hospital during his eight years as Vice President, mostly for issues involving his heart.
