Senator Johnson on the Mend

Senator Tim Johnson (D-SD) is resuming his role as “Senator” from his hospital bed in the rehabilitation unit where he is undergoing physical and occupational therapy to recover from brain surgery to correct an Arterio-Venous Malformation (AVM) that had ruptured befell him two months ago. “At this point, he has requested more contact with office and is looking for updates from staff.” his office said in a press release on Friday.

The Senator is reading news reports and studying up on issues that the senate is expected to take up, and might be able to return to the Senate and resume casting votes in just a few weeks, said his spokeswoman, Julianne Fisher.
