McConnell Back Home After Suffering Concussion
Saturday, 25 March 2023 06:06 PM EDT
U.S. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said he was back at home on Saturday and had completed inpatient physical therapy after suffering a concussion when he tripped and fell at a Washington, D.C., hotel this month.
"I'm going to follow the advice of my physical therapists and spend the next few days working for Kentuckians and (Republicans) from home," McConnell, 81, said in a statement.
"I look forward to returning in person to the Senate soon."
The Republican leader, who was first elected to represent Kentucky in the Senate in 1984, tripped at a dinner event on March 8 and was admitted to a hospital for treatment of a concussion and a minor rib fracture.
He remained in hospital until March 13, when he moved to a rehabilitation facility to regain strength.
