Wallace mends after bypass

Mike Wallace is recovering from triple heart bypass surgery performed last week, CBS News said Tuesday.

Wallace, 89, is already walking following the surgery Friday to bypass blockages near his heart. Doctors are calling the operation “a great success,” the network said.

Recovery from heart bypass surgery generally takes about six weeks.

The veteran “60 Minutes” correspondent, who is essentially retired, recently interviewed Roger Clemens about allegations of steroid abuse.
