Johnson Released from Rehab

In South Dakota News, the Argus Leader is reporting that Tim Johnson is being released from rehab as he prepares for more therapy:

"As I continue with my therapy, I also get more and more work from the office," he said. "The doctors tell me to pace myself and prepare for the long road, but I am determined to get back in the saddle."

Johnson will continue speech, physical and occupational therapy five days a week for several hours each day on an outpatient basis, according to the statement.

Robotic treadmill training is an important part of the senator's recovery, according to Dr. Michael Yochelson, director of brain injury programs at the National Rehabilitation Hospital.

We wish Senator Johnson continued success in his recovery.
