Rep. Becky Carney may be released from the hospital Tuesday.
Carney, a Charlotte Democrat, was re-admitted to the hospital after she developed a fever. Carney had a hybrid pacemaker and defibrillator implanted after she suffered a cardiac arrest Thursday.
House Chaplain Jim Harry said Monday that he spoke to Carney and that she was feeling better.
"She was mad because it was going to be a month before she could golf. Now they've stretched it to 6 to 8 weeks," Harry said.
Harry said that Carney's doctors believe that legislative police officers and Rep. Bob England, an Ellenboro Democrat who is also a physician, saved her life. They administered CPR and a shock from a portable defibrillator shortly after the cardiac arrest.
