Most people in this 30 minute-attention-span country have forgotten Tim Johnson, the Democratic Senator from South Dakota who had a brain hemorrhage. His condition was subject of speculation for weeks from the right-wing about shifting the balance of power back to the GOP.He has made his first public statement on his web site and I will include it in its entirety below.
"I want to thank the people of South Dakota and all of our dear friends for their support and prayers. This has been an unexpected journey and there is a long road in front of me. I am determined and focused on my recovery, and I look forward to returning to the Senate on behalf of South Dakota," said Senator Johnson.
The medical staff at the rehabilitation center has informed the Johnsons that the Senator continues to progress as expected. The attending physician states, "Senator Johnson is making significant and regular gains. He is doing very well cognitively. We are focusing on standing and balance training as the foundation upon which to base
the course of his ongoing physical recovery."
Our prayers and wishes for speedy recovery go out to Senator Johnson.
