CLINTON: I FEEL FINE TODAY. I WAS A LITTLE SORE YESTERDAY, YOU KNOW, THE FIRST DAY AFTER THE OPERATION WHEN THE PAIN STARTED TO WEAR OFF - I MEAN THE PAINKILLER.
On Friday, doctors repaired a torn tendon in the President's right leg.
Considered a rather routine procedure, surgeons reattached the damaged ligament, and drilled holes in his kneecap to hold it in place.
It was Thursday night in south Florida at the home of friend and professional golfer Greg Norman that the President reportedly slipped on a step and injured his leg.
Friday he flew back to Washington and doctors at Bethesda Naval Hospital performed the surgery.
DR. MARLENE DeMAIO/NAVY LT. CMDR./ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON: HE'S HAD SOME TOUGH TIMES WITH SOME SPASMS, ET CETERA. BUT HE'S DONE REMARKABLY WELL. AND IN MY PERIOD OF TIME AS BEING AN ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON, I'VE NEVER HAD A PATIENT THAT WAS ABLE TO GO THROUGH THIS WITHOUT NARCOTICS OF SOME SORT. HE'S DOING GREAT.
DID THEY HAVE TO TWIST YOUR ARM TO GET YOU TO DELAY THE TRIP TO HELSINKI FOR A DAY? HILLARY CLINTON: NO TWISTING OF ARMS, OR ANY LIMB (LAUGHTER).
The first family made light of plans to push the President's summit with Russian President Boris Yeltsin in Helsinki back by one day.
Doctors say he could use time to rest and continue rehabbing his leg.
QUESTION: SIR, DOES IT HURT EVERY TIME YOU MOVE?
CLINTON: NO.
QUESTION: IT DOESN'T?
CLINTON: NO. YOU JUST HAVE TO LEARN TO USE A FEW DIFFERENT MUSCLES. BUT IT'S QUITE INTERESTING. I MEAN, IT WILL BE A LEARNING EXPERIENCE. IT'S LIKE GOING BACK TO SCHOOL AND LEARNING SOME NEW THINGS. QUESTION: DO YOU THINK THIS WILL GET YOU ANY SYMPATHY VOTES IN CONGRESS FOR ANY OF YOUR BILLS? (LAUGHTER) CLINTON: I DON'T KNOW, BUT IF IT DOES, I'LL TAKE THEM ANY WAY I CAN GET THEM.
