On Sunday, the Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin was rushed to the hospital with symptoms of an "emergent bladder issue."
In a press release, the Pentagon said, "At approximately 2:20 pm, Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III was transported by his security detail to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to be seen for symptoms suggesting an emergent bladder issue."

Last I heard he had to delegate his responsibility to someone else. This was after the earlier announcement that he was hospitalized.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess you've never had prostate cancer.
I have, and I can tell you from experience that after they remove the prostate, they have to insert a catheter into the bladder to remove urine, while all the surgery heals. That catheter is a very common vector for infection. Reading between the lines, that's what I suspect might be happening here.

At this point, do they even bother waking up sleepy Joe to tell him?
Doctors expect Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin to be able to resume his duties on Tuesday, following a Sunday hospitalization for a bladder issue.
He has since transferred his authority to Deputy Secretary of Defense Kathleen Hicks. Austin was initially hospitalized in January due to complications from a prior surgery. Both hospitalizations saw him seek care at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
While still the hospital, Austin cancelled a planned trip to Europe to meet with NATO leaders in Brussels amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.
