Liz Cheney: Dad is well, following doctor's orders

[March 01, 2010]  WASHINGTON (AP) -- One of Dick Cheney's daughters says the former vice president is recovering well from the mild heart attack that sent him to the hospital last week.

Liz Cheney says her father is following doctor's orders. Dick Cheney, who's 69, has had five heart attacks -- the first when he was 37.

Liz Cheney said on "Fox News Sunday" that the lesson of her father's experience is that a person can live a full life with coronary disease. She said it's important to be vigilant for signs of the disease.

Dick Cheney was released from George Washington University Hospital on Wednesday.
