Mitch McConnell, the Kentucky senator, has been discharged from a rehabilitation center after nearly two months of recovery following a fall. "Earlier today, I was discharged from the rehabilitation center to continue my recovery at home," McConnell stated, expressing gratitude for the support he received.1
He emphasized that he will maintain an "intensive regimen of physical therapy from home" and continue to engage with Senate colleagues on important matters. McConnell was hospitalized on June 14 after suffering a fall, which initially raised concerns about his health. He later clarified that he did not suffer any serious injuries, stating, "My doctors have confirmed that I didn’t break any bones or suffer a concussion... I didn’t have a heart attack or a stroke." Despite these reassurances, McConnell's health has been a topic of concern, as he has faced several health issues in recent years, including a mild case of pneumonia during his recovery.
In recent public appearances, he has used a wheelchair, highlighting the ongoing challenges he faces. As he transitions back to work, McConnell's focus remains on his recovery and fulfilling his duties in the Senate.
“The 83-year-old senator's discharge follows a fall that led to his hospitalization. His office has not yet provided a timeline for his return to the Senate, but he is expected to continue his recovery at home.”
