But rest assured that, in the meantime, I’m not taking a break from the Senate business that matters to you.

As much as it frustrates me, this process takes time. And on the advice of my doctors, I won't be able to return to the Senate floor to vote quite yet.

But I was briefly unconscious and was taken to the hospital.

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