Venezuela's Hugo Chavez In First Post-Surgery Images -- BBC
The first images of Venezuela's leader Hugo Chavez since he underwent cancer surgery have been broadcast by the government.
The 58-year-old is seen smiling as he lies in bed reading a newspaper, with his two daughters at his side.
Mr Chavez has not been seen in public since he went to Havana for surgery last year, on 11 December.
It was his fourth operation in an 18-month period for cancer first diagnosed in mid-2011.

My Comment: These images of Chavez remind me of my father after he had a stroke. He smiled in all of our pictures but his convalescence was incredibly difficult. I suspect that in the case of Hugo Chavez .... his personal struggle is just beginning.
