Senator Tim Johnson continues his amazing recovery
The NYT reports Senator Johnson is doing well enough to seek re-election:
Senator Tim Johnson, a South Dakota Democrat who suffered a brain hemorrhage last December, announced yesterday that he would campaign next year for a third term.
“After months of rehabilitation and recovery, more than a month on the job in Washington and after my recent trips back to South Dakota, it is clear to my family, my doctors, and me that I am able to do the hard work required of a United States senator,” the 60-year-old Mr. Johnson said in a statement.
“I have said before,” the statement continued, “that I wanted to take this second chance at life and focus even harder on being the best advocate I can for the people of South Dakota.”
Here at ~J’s~, we have always wished the Senator well, and his recovery in such short order is an amazing feat. It is evident that Mr. Johnson has a strong will not only to live, but live productively and has a great family support base on which to draw.
Much continued good fortune to you Senator, and kudos to you for your perseverance and drive.
