LOS ANGELES -- Arnold Schwarzenegger is in good spirits as he recovers from heart surgery in a Los Angeles hospital. The 70-year-old "Terminator" actor and former California governor underwent a scheduled procedure to replace a valve on Thursday.

His spokesman Daniel Ketchell says he played with one of his old action movie catchphrases when he regained consciousness and announced, "I'm back."

Ketchell said Saturday in an email Schwarzenegger "continues to be doing very well, in good spirits, and recovering."

3. As a heart valve recipient I'm glad that Arnold is doing well.

As just an average guy who had to have a heart valve replaced I'm glad to see the even the fit weight lifter needed a valve replacements.

4. My father had that done

It was after a triple bypass that did not work very well.

He lasted a short time after that -- like 1 year and he passed away.

Get well soon Arnold.
