George H.W. Bush Shares Uplifting Recovery Photo

Earlier this month, former president George H.W. Bush was hospitalized after breaking a bone in his neck after taking a fall. Over two weeks later, Bush Sr. tweeted out a photo in thanks to well-wishers, noting the irony of how he was injured:

Who knew jumping out of planes was safer than getting out of bed? Thanks to all for your kind get-well messages. pic.twitter.com/T9FmhCqyme

Indeed, skydiving is one of the former president’s hobbies, having jumped out of a helicopter last year for his 90th birthday.

Bush fell at his home in Kennebunkport, Maine when he fractured his vertebra. Doctors said he suffered no grogginess from the incident and his spokesman, Jim McGrath, has said that the injury will be allowed to heal on its own.
