The Vice President injured his back moving heavy boxes and furniture while preparing to move out of the Vice President's Mansion so that the new residents could move in.
And President Bush "41" had much difficulty walking on Tuesday because of a recent hip surgery.
Still, these two men, despite their own severe physical pain, chose to attend the inauguration of the new President, enduring several hours of cold and discomfort.
Similarly, Senator Edward Kennedy (from the other side of the aisle) attended the inauguration and a luncheon, where he suffered another brain seizure. (He's under treatment for brain cancer.) He was hospitalized but later released, if I remember correctly.
