Cheney-Five and Still Alive!

Hey Vice-Precedence Blog Readers.

Well, it was definitely a heart attack that former VP Richard "Dick" Cheney had last week. Making it number five for those of you who are counting. This fifth one was a mild one and he was released from George Washington University Hospital last week.

Both President Obama and VP Biden called Cheney while he was in the hospital to wish him a speedy recovery. On "FOX News Sunday" his daughter Liz Cheney said that her fathers five heart attacks over the last 32 years show that a person with coronary disease can live a fulfilling and even stressful life despite it. She said it's important to be on the look out for any signs of the disease.

The former VP is expected to get back to his regular schedule soon.
