Garrison Keillor has a Stroke
The well respected comedian and "A Prairie Home Companion" host Garrison Keillor has suffered a major
stroke and was recovering at the Mayo Clinic facility, a spokesman commented on Wednesday.
Garrison Keillor on Sunday morning suffered the stroke and was admitted to Saint Marys Hospital at Mayo
Clinic later that night, said Karl Oestreich, a Mayo spokesman who was reluctant to comment initially.
"He is up and moving around, speaking sensibly, working at a laptop, and it s expected he ll be released on
Friday," Oestreich said in a statement e-mailed to The Associated Press.
"He plans to resume a normal
schedule next week.
"
A representative for Garrison Keillor didn t immediately comment.
This stroke occurs just days before the
next season of his popular show was about to begin.
This accident was not without precedent as Garrison Keillor, 67, underwent surgery to repair a heart valve
at the Mayo Clinic in 2001.
