Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky has returned to the Senate after a three-month absence. His return on Monday marked the first time he has been back since June 14, when he was hospitalized following a fall in his home.
The 84-year-old senator had been treated for mild pneumonia and was briefly unconscious due to the fall. McConnell's recovery has been a long process, made more difficult by lingering effects of childhood polio. He is still undergoing physical therapy as advised by his doctors.
Further details about McConnell's condition and recovery are available, including a statement from the senator himself, describing the challenges he has faced during his recovery.
