JOIN USJD(S) leader H D Kumaraswamy, who recently underwent a heart surgery, is recuperating well, said his father H D Deve Gowda on Monday.
Kumaraswamy had undergone a valve replacement surgery on Saturday at Apollo Hospitals. Following the surgery, he has been advised rest for about four weeks.
Gowda, who met Kumaraswamy’s cardiologist Sathyaki Nambala, said he had requested the doctor not to shift his son to the special ward yet, as he feared the spread of infection. The JD(S) leader might be shifted out of the ICU in the next three to four days.
Kumaraswamy's wife Anitha told reporters that her husband was in good spirits. “We had not expected him to recuperate so quickly. He has actually been walking about,” she said, adding that Kumaraswamy was currently on a liquid diet comprising soups and juices.
