TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ Topeka Mayor Bill Bunten says he is unsure
when he'll return to office as he continues to recover from
pneumonia.

Bunten was hospitalized for six days in mid-June and is now
recovering at home. He said Thursday that his doctors have told him
he's improving, but they haven't been able to identify exactly what
type of pneumonia he's has.

The 79-year-old Bunten said his condition isn't considered
life-threatening. He expects to return to work but said that won't
happen until he's healthy.

Deputy Mayor Richard Harmon and City Council members have been
filling in for Bunten at some mayoral commitments.

Bunten was re-elected to a second term in April.
