INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Gov. Mitch Daniels is recovering at home after surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff in his right shoulder.
The governor's office says the outpatient surgery Thursday morning at Indiana Orthopedic Hospital Northwest in Indianapolis was successfully performed by orthopedic surgeon Dr. Sandy Kunkel.
Daniels is expected to return to his office at the Statehouse sometime next week.
Spokesman Jacob Oakman says he's back in charge of the executive branch of Indiana government after temporarily handing those duties to Lt. Gov. Becky Skillman.
Doctors told Daniels that normal wear and tear might have caused the injury that was confirmed by an MRI last month, but the 61-year-old governor also hurt his shoulder during a fall in December 2009.
