Best wishes.

House Speaker Dennis Hastert had kidney stone surgery at Bethesda Naval Hospital on Wednesday, the day he had been scheduled to leave for Pope John Paul II’s funeral.

Hastert’s spokesman, Ron Bonjean, said the 63-year-old Illinois Republican was recovering well. Hastert was to stay in the Maryland hospital overnight and return to Illinois on Thursday, Bonjean said.

The speaker was expected to resume his normal schedule when the House returns next week.

Also, Rep. Mike Boland was hospitalized this week after suffering a nasty virus. Best wishes to him, too.
