U.S. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell is discharged from the hospital after treatment for injuries sustained in a fall, but doctors have not yet cleared him to return to work, according to statements relayed by his office. McConnell says he is working to get back to his full schedule in the Senate and in Kentucky while following doctors’ orders and undergoing intensive physical therapy. He also addresses public appearances he has been unable to attend during his recovery, including an annual Kentucky picnic for which his absence was noted by his office. The outlets report that his medical status remains in a “not yet cleared” stage, indicating continued recovery and continued treatment before he resumes normal duties. Both sources describe his condition in terms of ongoing rehabilitation rather than a return to full activity. McConnell’s office communicates updates through physicians’ assessments and the senator’s own statements as he continues physical therapy and recovery.
