Sen. Mitch McConnell is home again after a long hospital stay and rehab stint caused by a June fall. The 84-year-old Kentucky Republican said Thursday he's been released from a rehabilitation facility and will keep working remotely, but offered no date for a return to the Senate, which is about to leave for a five-week recess, NBC News reports.
- "Earlier today, I was discharged from the rehabilitation center to continue my recovery at home. Elaine and I are grateful for the many well wishes and support from friends, colleagues, and Kentuckians, and for the attentive care I've received from excellent doctors, nurses, therapists, and hospital staff," McConnell said in a statement.
"On the advice of my doctors, I'll maintain an intensive regimen of physical therapy from home during the state work period, and I'll continue to engage with my staff and colleagues on important Senate business," McConnell said. Questions about his condition have mounted since his June 14 hospitalization, with his office sharing few details and critics, including Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, pressing for more transparency. Almost a month after his hospitalization, McConnell disclosed that it was the result of a fall, CNN reports. "I didn't have a heart attack or a stroke. I don't have any tumors or hemorrhages. But I was briefly unconscious and was taken to the hospital," he said, adding that he has "also had to deal with a mild case of pneumonia."
