Menino hospitalized in Boston with virus

Mayor Thomas M. Menino has spent the weekend in a Boston hospital with a virus after coming home two days early from a vacation in Italy, his spokeswoman said on Sunday.

Menino has been lethargic and coughing and his feet have been swollen and bothering him for some time, said the spokeswoman, Dot Joyce. He went to his doctor Friday afternoon for a series of tests and was admitted to Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

My feet have been swollen for some time--and i am about Menino's age.

So I am waiting for a free medical report on what can be done about my swollen feet

when Menino's medical report is updated in the Boston Globe.

Meanwhile, Mayor, best wishes on recovery from the virus.

When Menino's  feet are swollen, John Connolly's head gets swollen.
