Senator Mitch McConnell, 84, has returned home since he was hospitalized after a bad fall over 50 days ago.
McConnell wrote in a statement that he was 'discharged' from his rehabilitation center today to 'continue my recovery at home.'
He thanked his wife, Elaine, and the 'excellent' doctors, nurses and therapists who helped him at the hospital.
'On the advice of my doctors, I'll maintain an intensive regimen of physical therapy from home during the state work period,' he added.
A fall at his DC residence on June 14 left him briefly unconscious and paramedics rushed him to the hospital.
But he still has not been seen in public or released a video of any kind.
The Kentucky Republican also has not recorded a Senate vote since June 11, bringing his tally of consecutively missed roll call votes to a staggering 47, according to GovTrack.US, though he has remotely cosponsored some legislation.
