Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton anticipates being back in the City this weekend and back in the office on Monday.  Boughton plans to work a few hours a day next week and return full time after labor day.  For now, the 53-year old is in Pittsburgh waiting to have stitches taken out after a surgery to remove a benign, lemon-sized cyst from his brain. 

A pathologist confirmed that it was a benign epidermoid cyst. 

Boughton told Hearst Connecticut Media that the night before the surgery he spent hours praying, crying and thinking about what sort of person he had been.  The published report also said that Boughton suffered severe exhaustion in the afternoons, starting almost four years ago.  Recently his headaches became bad and one day last month, his vision went blurry for 25 minutes.
