Senator gets physical therapy

Senator Johnson was elected last november to represent the state of South Dakota. Then, during a radio interview last fall, Senator Tim Johnson began having trouble speaking and responding to questions. He was rushed to the hospital where it was discovered that he had experienced bleeding into his brain. It was not cause by a stroke, but by the malformation of blood vessels. After undergoing surgery and a lengthy ICU stay, the Senator is now participating in the rehabilitation process that will help him regain many of the abilities that have been impaired by his health incident and by deconditioning.
His son shares something of this from the Keloland.com TV news site.

Johnson says the majority of the Senator's time is taken up by physical therapy as he works to regain strength in his muscles and his speaking ability.
“Long and hard days really, doing physical therapy and speech therapy so he doesn't really have a lot of free time,” he said.

Its a short read.
