Sen. McConnell Not Cleared To Return To Work As He Recovers From Fall
Senator Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., is still recovering from a debilitating fall and has not yet been cleared to return to work by his medical team at the Office of the Attending Physician (OAP). Doctors are meeting with him daily for rehabilitation discussions. The OAP noted that polio he contracted in childhood continues to affect his mobility. McConnell, 84 years old, is undergoing a rigorous physical therapy regimen designed to rebuild strength and reduce future fall risks. He has not been seen publicly since the incident last month and apologized for missing an upcoming Kentucky event due to ongoing recovery efforts.
