Sen. Kennedy is walking hospital halls after surgery

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Sen. Edward Kennedy had ``a restful night's sleep'' after brain surgery and is recovering with no complications.

In a statement issued to The Associated Press today, aides to the Massachusetts Democrat said, ``He is experiencing no complications, and has been walking the hallways, spending time with family and actively keeping up with the news of the day.''

Kennedy is expected to leave Duke University Medical Center in Durham next week.

The 76-year-old Kennedy was diagnosed with a malignant glioma in the left parietal lobe of his brain after suffering a seizure on May 17 at his home in Hyannisport, Mass. He underwent 3 1/2 hours of surgery on yesterday, during which doctors sliced away at the tumor.
