From today's Daily Herald:
Waukegan Mayor Richard Hyde was scheduled to be released from the hospital Thursday, roughly a week after undergoing an appendectomy.
Hyde, 81, was admitted to Lake Forest Hospital Dec. 31 after suffering from what he thought was the flu, city spokesman David Motley said. The same day, however, doctors removed the mayor's appendix, Motley said.
Hyde has been recovering at Lake Forest Hospital since the surgery.
The hospital on Thursday could not confirm whether Hyde was still a patient or had been released.
Motley did not know when Hyde planned to return to work.
Hyde has served as mayor since 2002. He is up for re-election this year.
