Smiling and Alert in Hospital Pic …
Says He Didn’t Have Heart Attack
Published
Mitch McConnell has shared the first photo of himself since he was hospitalized last month … and he says he’s been receiving treatment after a fall — not a more serious medical issue.
The senator of Kentucky released the photo alongside a press release on Sunday … in which he’s sitting in a hospital bed — smiling alongside Elaine Chao.
In the release, McConnell says, “Surviving childhood polio meant spending my entire life with mobility challenges. They haven’t exactly gotten easier to manage with age. And last month, I took a fall which landed me in the hospital.”
McConnell revealed … “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. But I was briefly unconscious and was taken to the hospital. While receiving excellent care over the past several weeks, I’ve also had to deal with a mild case of pneumonia.”
He says he can’t yet return to the senate floor … but he’s on the road to recovery.
Story developing …
