BREAKING: Mitch McConnell Issues Major Health Update– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Sen. Mitch McConnell is heading home after nearly two months away from public life following a serious fall that sidelined the longtime Kentucky Republican.

McConnell announced Thursday that he has been discharged from a rehabilitation facility and will continue recovering from home after suffering a fall at his Kentucky residence in mid-June that left him briefly unconscious and hospitalized. During his recovery, he also developed a mild case of pneumonia but did not suffer a stroke, heart attack, or broken bones, according to previous updates from his office.

“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,” he said, referring to his wife, Elaine Chao.

The 84-year-old senator said he will spend the Senate’s upcoming state work period recovering at home rather than returning to Capitol Hill immediately.
