Gov. Perry to have clavicle surgery

AUSTIN (AP) — Gov. Rick Perry is set to undergo surgery to repair his right clavicle, which has yet to properly heal following a 2009 bicycle accident.

The Texas Governor's Office says Perry will undergo a 90-minute outpatient procedure Friday in Austin.

<<snip>>

Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst will assume gubernatorial duties if Perry is temporarily unable to serve.

In July, the 61-year-old Perry had stem cells taken from his body that were then grown in a lab and injected into his back during an operation to fuse part of his spine.

If that is the case, then they should call it out-to-lunch-patient surgery. In Perry's case, the recovery will take forever.
