Rose announced in a post on the CBS News website Wednesday that he will have an aorta valve replaced and step away from “CBS This Morning” until March as he recovers. “I can’t wait to be back completely rested with my heart recharged, my passion for the work ahead purposeful and my joy at life’s pleasures high,” he wrote.
