Mitch McConnell said last week that the senator is \u201ccontinuing his recovery\u201d in a hospital while the Senate is out of session.

After he returned, he twice froze up during news conferences that summer, staring vacantly ahead before colleagues and staff came to his assistance. A year later, he fell and sprained his wrist while walking out of a GOP luncheon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>McConnell had polio in his early childhood and he has long acknowledged some difficulty as an adult in walking and climbing stairs.
