After less than a week in physical rehabilitation at WellStar Kennestone Hospital, U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson is recuperating at his home in East Cobb.
His office said he was discharged Friday after undergoing physical therapy. He fractured four ribs in a fall at his apartment in Washington.
The Republican, Georgia’s senior senator who is 74 years old, said the following in a statement issued by his office:
“I am doing much better thanks to the excellent medical care and rehabilitation services I have received. I’m looking forward to sleeping in my own bed and will remain focused on making a full recovery so I can get back to work. All of the thoughtful messages of support have kept my spirits high, and I thank everyone who has lifted me up during this time.”
His spokeswoman said Isakson is expected to return to Washington in August, after a Congressional recess that includes work and appearances around the state.
