Representative Bud Bowman recovering well after surgery
Representative DeMar “Bud” Bowman, R-Cedar City, is recovering well after surgery Wednesday to remove a tumor on his kidney. Bowman recently underwent multiple bypass surgery in December and his heart functioned well during the procedure.
“It was a successful surgery – a little painful, but I’ll be fine,” said Representative Bowman.
“They won’t know if the tumor was cancerous or not for two or three days, but it was all contained in the kidney,” said Rep. Bowman, regarding the successful removal of his right kidney that encapsulated a grapefruit -sized tumor. Bowman’s gall bladder was also removed during the procedure performed in Salt Lake City.
“I feel really good – very much at peace,” Bowman said after the surgery. Bowman was with his wife of 57 years, Marilyn Bowman, and two of his children – daughters Jeanne and Diane with him during his brief hospital stay.
Before his surgery, Representative Bowman made it known to his colleagues that he intends to come back to the legislature in a caucus meeting Tuesday, saying, “I’ve got an election to win, but I’ll be back.”
