McConnell Recovers After Fall | Spokane News

Senator Mitch McConnell, 84, shares an update on his recovery after a fall that hospitalized him in early June—no broken bones, concussion, or major complications, but he did suffer a brief loss of consciousness and a mild case of pneumonia. Now at a rehab center, he’s undergoing intensive physical therapy and is cleared to continue his recovery while remaining actively engaged in Senate work and constituent services. Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear had previously requested a formal update, concerned about the spread of rumors. McConnell, accompanied by his wife Elaine Chao, released a photo holding a newspaper to signal his continued connection to public life. Doctors emphasize fall prevention and gradual strength rebuilding as he recovers. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
