McConnell Returns To Normal Work Schedule
Senator Will Resume Full Duties
LOUISVILLE -- Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell will return to his normal schedule this weekend, five days after he was diagnosed with a small blood clot in his left ankle.
Thursday, he underwent a follow-up ultrasound at Jewish Hospital that showed a reduction in the size of the clot, WLKY NewsChannel 32 reported.
McConnell will return to Washington on Sunday and resume his duties as the Senate's No. 2 Republican.
On Tuesday, he was diagnosed with a case of superficial thrombophlebitis, a non-life-threatening condition.
It's not the first health issue for McConnell this year. He underwent triple-bypass heart surgery in February.
