Sen. Mitch McConnell broke his public silence on his health July 12, saying a fall and a subsequent bout of pneumonia have kept him away from the Senate for about a month.
In a statement to his constituents, the Kentucky Republican said he was "briefly unconscious" after the fall and was admitted to a hospital, where he underwent extensive testing and treatment. McConnell, 84, said he has since moved from the hospital to a rehabilitation center and is continuing physical therapy to "keep regaining my strength."
"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. I don't have any tumors or hemorrhages," McConnell said. "But I was briefly unconscious and was taken to the hospital."
