Mark Kirk returns to Senate after recovering from stroke
(MCT) — WASHINGTON — Sen. Mark Kirk’s halting, 18-minute climb up the Capitol steps on Thursday came nearly a year after a major stroke left him so incapacitated that he was in critical condition for 10 to 15 days and had difficulty keeping his balance while sitting up.
Those details about Kirk’s illness were among many revealed by the senator’s medical team, which met with reporters after his much-heralded return to the Senate.
