OK - this is not straight from the horse's mouth, but I guess as she
exits State, I will have to get used to using secondary sources, which I
eschew because of all the gossip and rumor-mongering out there. This
appears reliable.

WASHINGTON,
Jan 6 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will resume
her official duties on Monday, five days after being released from a
hospital for treatment of a blood clot, the State Department said on
Sunday.
Clinton, 65, will sit down with assistant secretaries of
state for a closed-door meeting on Monday at 9:15 a.m. (1415 GMT) at the
start of a week-long schedule containing nearly a dozen meetings,
including three at the White House.
The secretary was released
from New York Presbyterian Hospital last Wednesday, after a stay of
several days during which she was given blood thinners to treat the clot
in a vein behind her right ear. She has been resting at home in New
York since then. Read more >>>>
We're grateful for the outpouring of support for Secretary Clinton's recovery. Thank you all for your kind messages.
Mr. President, we are continuing to pray for her full recovery, and we know you are taking extra special care of her. Please tell her we love her and want to see her healthy and happy. We, too, are grateful for her excellent care and that we still have her with us.
As
she recuperates at home, and as we recover from the shock of her
serious health scare, Hillary's devout are missing her like crazy. In
an attempt to address the Hillary deficit, I am sharing these images,
from the 2012 White House photostream, of both Hillary Clinton and her
loving Bill. Most of these have not been posted here before. Enjoy!
NBC Nightly News is. reporting that our dear Mme. Secretary has been released from the hospital! We send along wishes and prayers for her continued recovery.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton left New York hospital Wednesday after being treated for a blood clot near her brain.
She walked out New York Presbyterian Hospital accompanied by her husband, former President Bill Clinton and daughter Chelsea.
Here are Victoria Nuland's remarks to the press today.
I
know all of you are very interested in the Secretary’s health. Again,
we want to thank all of you for your good wishes, for your good thoughts
over the holiday period. I just wanted to say at the outset that I
don’t have anything new to update you since the statement that we put
out from her doctors on December 31st, where we talked about
the fact that a blood clot had been discovered, that she is on blood
thinners now and the doctors are monitoring her. We will continue to
keep you updated as we have new information to share, as we’ve been
doing all the way along. I think that was our eighth statement in some
three weeks. So please bear with us, and we will continue to pass on all
of your good wishes to her.
Finally, here is the definitive confirmation from Philippe Reines.

advised her that she is making good progress on all fronts, and they
are confident she will make a full recovery. She's eager to get back to

I just found this picture and I simply had to add it. After missing
her so much, after all the worrying, here it is, what we longed for - that beautiful, bright smile. Godspeed to a full recovery,
lovely lady!

Statement by Dr. Lisa Bardack, Mt. Kisco Medical Group, and Dr. Gigi El-Bayoumi, George Washington University
In
the course of a routine follow-up MRI on Sunday, the scan revealed that
a right transverse sinus venous thrombosis had formed. This is a clot
in the vein that is situated in the space between the brain and the
skull behind the right ear. It did not result in a stroke, or
neurological damage. To help dissolve this clot, her medical team began
treating the Secretary with blood thinners. She will be released once
the medication dose has been established. In all other aspects of her
recovery, the Secretary is making excellent progress and we are
confident she will make a full recovery. She is in good spirits,
engaging with her doctors, her family, and her staff.
Her dear friend, Lynn Forester de Rothschild blogged this lovely idea at HuffPo.
My
mailbox was lit up this morning with messages of worry and concern and
love for our Secretary of State. It made me dream that perhaps as a
nation, as a world, we could all say a little prayer for the safe and
speedy recovery of Hillary Clinton.
For so many years, and in so
many ways, she has touched our hearts and changed our lives. Maybe now
we can come together to say a prayer that will bring her back to good
health. Read more >>>>
We
are praying for her and for her family while remembering this lovely
moment from four years ago. We are hoping to see her return to her
bubbly self soon.
Meanwhile, for the 17th time in 20 years, Gallup has named her the most admired woman.
Continued prayers and good thoughts go out for our precious Secretary
of State. Here is the official announcement from the State Department.

In
the course of a follow-up exam today, Secretary Clinton's doctors
discovered a blood clot had formed, stemming from the concussion she
sustained several weeks ago. She is being treated with anti-coagulants
and is at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital so that they can monitor the
medication over the next 48 hours.
Her doctors will continue to
assess her condition, including other issues associated with her
concussion. They will determine if any further action is required.
