Clinton shares first update on recovery following hospitalization: 'I’m really glad to be back home'

Former President Bill Clinton was hospitalized with an infection last week. Now, he's recovering at home.

Former President Bill Clinton spoke out for the first time following his hospitalization.

In a video posted on Twitter Wednesday night, Clinton, 75, said he's feeling better, and is "on the road to recovery."

"Hi everyone, I was so touched by the outpouring of support I received during my stay in the hospital. Thanks so much. I’d also like to thank the doctors and nurses at UC Irvine Medical Center for the absolutely wonderful care that they gave me over the last seven days," he said.

The former president -- who has battled a number of health issues, including heart problems, over the past two decades -- was taken to the hospital last Tuesday to be treated for an infection not related to COVID-19, his spokesperson said.
