Arnold Schwarzenegger proved he was in "good spirits" as he woke up from emergency heart surgery on Thursday by referencing his trademark Terminator phrase. "That 1997 replacement valve was never meant to be permanent, and has outlived its life expectancy, so he chose to replace it yesterday through a less-invasive catheter valve replacement. "Governor Schwarzenegger's pulmonic valve was successfully replaced and he is currently recovering from the surgery and is in stable condition." Returning to Twitter shortly after posting his full statement, Ketchell wrote, "Update: @Schwarzenegger is awake and his first words were actually 'I'm back', so he is in good spirits."
