umm. it is strange. Only reason I can think of is they are taking an abundance of caution to prevent infection.

The details surrounding First Lady Melania Trump’s “benign kidney condition” are scarce.

........................................... what was originally reported as a “two or three days” recovery time has passed.

The New York Times reported that the White House has been hushed silent about Trump’s whereabouts and medical condition.

Dr. Kelvin Hong, the director of the Johns Hopkins Interventional Radiology Center, said that Trump’s procedure usually calls for a one-night stay...........................................

Mrs. Trump’s close aides were also seen wearing blue scrubs. Hong said it was unclear why they were wearing scrubs since they are “unnecessary” for someone who underwent an “embolization procedure.”

Stephanie Grisham, the first lady’s communications director would not answer questions.

has outlived her usefulness. Trumpy, remember, has no morals, and will do anything to empower himself. People are always disposable to him. He’s an evil monster. Melania should be fearful.

of the century...... so she decided to remain hospitalized as a cover. I do hope she is ok though.

I bet you are correct, the stay was scheduled and maybe extended for cover, for her and the traitor. I so bet this is exactly it

From the beginning,
I heard she'd be in for about 7 days.

I had also heard though that it is often done as "day surgery" ...
go in and home the same day.

that she might be in the hospital for plastic surgery, and she needs the week for the bruises and swelling to go away?

Edited to add: four years ago I had 2/3 of my left kidney removed due to cancer, and I stayed in the hospital one night.

They knew how long she would be in for. Why couldn't they come up with an appropriate cover story?

Just sayin' -- a woman of her status sees New York specialists for nip and tuck surgery, not military doctors, as splendid as they may be.

damage to the artery where the catheter is inserted.
failure of the blocking material.
an infection.
a stroke.

14. My speculation is that she tried to commit suicide by overdose

And had partial organ failure as a result. Now the hospital and her staff are trying to keep a lid on it.

This is just my unsupported speculation. I profoundly hope it's not true. I sat with my late wife as she made a couple of very serious suicide attempts, and I know how difficult and traumatizing it can be.

I wish Melania the best. Nobody deserves to be in her situation.
