Aoun Leaves Hospital after Arm Surgery, Thanks Those Who checked on Him

Free Patriotic Movement leader MP Michel Aoun left the hospital on Tuesday after undergoing a successful surgery for breaking his arm last week.

"Aoun is in recovery and will resume his political activities as of Wednesday,” a statement released by the FPM chief's media office assured.

The head of the Change and Reform parliamentary bloc thanked in the statement “all those who called him or paid him a visit at the hospital to check on his health.”

Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi telephoned Aoun upon his return home to inquire about his health.

Also among the well-wishers on Tuesday were Health Minister Wael Abou Faour, Lebanese Forces MP George Adwan, Tourism Minister MP Michel Pharaon, Iranian charge d'affaires Mohammed Sadiq al-Fadhli, former minister Wiam Wahhab and former minister Roger Deeb, according to another statement released by Aoun's office.

Aoun was admitted to Serhal hospital that lies near his house in Rabieh on Sunday where he underwent a “small surgery” after fracturing his arm.

Prime Minister Tammam Salam had delegated Environment Minister Mohammed al-Mashnouq to check on the Christian leader's health.
