WASHINGTON, July 31 (UPI) -- Less than two weeks after being released from the hospital, former President George H.W. Bush is giving a thumbs-up to his recovery.
The 91-year-old former president, the oldest alive, tweeted a photo of himself wearing a neck brace, thanking everyone for the kind words and well-wishes.
With his notorious love of skydiving, he could not help but poke some fun at himself. He marked his 80th, 85th, 88th and 90th birthdays with dives.
