The Office of the Attending Physician (OAP) said Monday that Republican Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell was discharged from the hospital and undergoing daily physical therapy. <\/p>\n

McConnell\u2019s office had been largely unresponsive about the senator\u2019s condition and recovery after he missed 38 roll call votes since his June 14 hospitalization. The OAP released a statement saying McConnell is not \u201cmedically cleared\u201d to return to the Senate while undergoing a \u201cstrenuous course of physical therapy and rehabilitation.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cSenator McConnell continues his recovery from a fall at home in June,\u201d the OAP said in a statement obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. \u201cOAP physicians visit with the Senator every day, discussing all aspects of his rehabilitation care. Since his discharge from hospital care, he has maintained a strenuous course of physical therapy and rehabilitation, including multiple sessions a day designed to rebuild strength and reduce the risk of future falls. His bout with childhood polio continues to be a significant factor in his mobility. He is not yet medically cleared to leave the rehab facility and return to the office.\u201d (RELATED: Email Suggests Mitch McConnell Health Response Is Coordinated Effort)<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a statement released by his press office, McConnell said he was working to return to his full schedule. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m still working hard to get back to my full schedule of work in the Senate and in Kentucky, keeping up with intense physical therapy per my doctors\u2019 orders. Unfortunately, that means I won\u2019t be able to make it to Fancy Farm, Kentucky this Saturday,\u201d McConnell said in a statement. \u201cThere\u2019s no place I\u2019d rather be on the first Saturday in August than with the good people of western Kentucky, feasting on pork and mutton. When I first attended forty-two years ago, Fancy Farm was a pretty lonely place to be a Republican.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cBut, my, how times have changed. Today, western Kentucky is a conservative Republican sea of red. So I hate that I\u2019ll miss the fun this year, but I\u2019m sending my best wishes to the St. Jerome community for a successful picnic. As always, I appreciate all of your continued well wishes, and I\u2019m looking forward to getting back to the Senate and to Kentucky soon.\u201d<\/p>\n

McConnell\u2019s office released a photograph taken Sunday of the senator and his wife, former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao. McConnell wore a blue button-down shirt and sat in a chair.<\/p>\n

McConnell\u2019s office repeatedly suggested that he was recovering well after being hospitalized on June 14. A dispatch call from that date showed paramedics appearing to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for a \u201ccardiac arrest.\u201d <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The DCNF requested a video interview with McConnell on July 8 after his office assured the senator was recovering well. His office said they would keep the request \u201con hand,\u201d though they have not confirmed a date or time for an interview as of Monday. <\/p>\n

The former majority leader said in a July 12 statement that he suffered injuries from a fall and contracted pneumonia while in the hospital. <\/p>\n

McConnell\u2019s office told the DCNF that McConnell was \u201cworking closely with his staff on Kentucky and Senate matters,\u201d though they ignored several requests for comment regarding his health. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso and CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings claimed on July 7 that they all spoke to McConnell on the phone about a variety of issues for about 20 minutes, which was later released by McConnell\u2019s staff in an emailed press release obtained by the DCNF. <\/p>\n

Chao traveled to China and said her husband\u2019s hospitalization did \u201cnot warrant an immediate return.\u201d His youngest daughter, Porter, deactivated her social media account while speculation arose about her father\u2019s health.<\/p>\n

The 84-year-old senator spent several days in the intensive care unit (ICU) between Feb. 2 and Feb. 10 while suffering from flu-like symptoms. Staffers were frequently seen assisting McConnell while walking around Capitol Hill.<\/p>\n

The former majority leader suffered several falls and experienced two on-camera freezing episodes in July 2023.<\/p>\n
