Edited - wrong George Bush - Jnr had a blockage

Former U.S. President George W. Bush underwent successful surgery at a Dallas hospital on Tuesday to place a stent in a blocked heart artery.

Doctors discovered the blockage on Monday during Bush's annual physical at the Cooper Clinic in Dallas, according to a statement from spokesman Freddy Ford. They recommended a stent to open the blockage, and Bush, 67, underwent surgery on Tuesday morning at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, the statement said.

The former president was "in high spirits, eager to return home tomorrow and resume his normal schedule on Thursday," Ford said.

He had a stent put in, and was just released.

Is Poppy sick, too? Or did you read it wrong?
