........................................... what was originally reported as a two or three days recovery time has passed.
The New York Times reported that the White House has been hushed silent about Trumps whereabouts and medical condition.
Dr. Kelvin Hong, the director of the Johns Hopkins Interventional Radiology Center, said that Trumps procedure usually calls for a one-night stay...........................................
Mrs. Trumps close aides were also seen wearing blue scrubs. Hong said it was unclear why they were wearing scrubs since they are unnecessary for someone who underwent an embolization procedure.
Stephanie Grisham, the first ladys communications director would not answer questions.

Edited to add: four years ago I had 2/3 of my left kidney removed due to cancer, and I stayed in the hospital one night.

This is just my unsupported speculation. I profoundly hope it's not true. I sat with my late wife as she made a couple of very serious suicide attempts, and I know how difficult and traumatizing it can be.
I wish Melania the best. Nobody deserves to be in her situation.
