PM Back To Work, But "Back" Still Not Fully Working
posted (November 27, 2013)

And we have two final items tonight.  The first is on the PM’s bad back, and the second is on his weird beard.  First to the back.  He got surgery three weeks ago, and went to Belmopan twice this week.  He says he has been working reduced hours since last week but might have been pushing too hard because his doctor said that he should take a month off.  He explained:

Hon. Dean Barrow, Prime Minister
"I believe that the recuperation is coming along well and I am optimistic at the end of six weeks, the result will be as the doctor had promised.  And he’s a doctor, not a politician so I believe that I can accept his promise.  So that in 6 weeks, I should be experiencing measurable relief and be able to return to work, full tilt."

The PM says he won’t go back to Belmopan for the rest of the week.  And then he will make an effort again next week.
