Seattle Times staff
King County Executive Ron Sims is recuperating at home following removal of his gallbladder Sunday.
"He's in good spirits. He's making jokes," his spokeswoman Carolyn Duncan said Monday. Sims is expected to be at home the rest of the week.
Duncan said Sims, 58, had missed work on several occasions recently, including two days last week, because of undiagnosed abdonimal pain. He was admitted to Virginia Mason Medical Center on Saturday afternoon, where tests showed he was suffering from gallstones. His gall bladder was removed by laparascopic surgery Sunday.
