On the advice of my doctors, I’ll maintain an intensive regimen of physical therapy from home during the state work period.

Elaine and I are grateful for the many well wishes and support from friends, colleagues, and Kentuckians, and for the attentive care I've received from excellent doctors, nurses, therapists, and hospital staff.

I’ll keep working hard to get back on the Senate floor as soon as possible.

I’ve watched vaccines save millions of lives from devastating diseases across America and around the world.

I’ve also had to deal with a mild case of pneumonia.

My doctors have confirmed that I didn’t break any bones or suffer a concussion.
