(August 23, 2006)—Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan was recovering Wednesday at Providence Health Center in Waco after undergoing a hysterectomy on Tuesday.

Sheehan, 49, of Vacaville, Calif., is expected to remain in the hospital for several days before she rejoins the peace vigil near the president’s Central Texas ranch.

The protest continues through Sept. 3, although Mr. Bush left Central Texas earlier this month, while Sheehan was in the same hospital for treatment of exhaustion, dehydration and to undergo gynecological tests.

Sheehan's oldest son Casey, a 1st Cavalry Division soldier, was killed in Iraq in 2004.

She first arrived in Crawford a year ago, demanding to meet with Mr. Bush during his month-long vacation.

Her 26-day vigil last summer near his ranch drew more than 10,000 fellow demonstrators.

It also spurred counter protests of Bush supporters who said she was hurting troop morale.
