Governor Roy Cooper today underwent an elective procedure to repair a herniated disc that was causing lower back pain. The governor is alert and resting, reading bills and directing staff. Today’s procedure took place at UNC Rex Hospital in Raleigh.
“I guess this is what happens after too many sit-ups. I’ll be checking out tomorrow and I look forward to resuming my trips to every corner of our state,” said Governor Cooper.
Following the procedure, Governor Cooper has been in continuous contact with staff and Cabinet secretaries.
