Del. congressman suffers 2 small strokes

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

DOVER, Del. -- U.S. Rep. Michael Castle suffered two small strokes but is expected
to make a full recovery, doctors said Sunday.

Castle, 67, was hospitalized in Delaware Saturday morning after waking up at his
Rehoboth Beach home feeling dizzy and nauseous. He was later flown to Christiana
Hospital in Newark, where he underwent a series of examinations, including a
magnetic resonance imaging test.

"It did show that he actually had a small stroke," said neurologist Dr. Neil Porter.
"Technically, one can say that he had two small strokes."

Porter said Castle was "pretty much back to his normal self," and is expected to
make a full recovery.

1. Best wishes for a full recovery and a long rest starting when

the new Congress is sworn in.

2. I wish him a speedy recovery. . .

What he truly needs is rest. The good citizens of Delaware shouldn't impose another term on him -- it'd be unseemly to ask a recuperating Congresscritter to return to Washington. Better that the Democrat be elected in his stead, so Mr Castle can rest at home and ensure he recovers completely.
