You might have missed the news from yesterday as posted on the
CapFax via the
Tribune:
Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., D-Ill., has left the Mayo Clinic and is at home
in the nation's capital with his family, an aide said today.
"He's home with his wife and children and he's convalescing," Rick
Bryant, his chief of staff in suburban Chicago, told the Chicago
Tribune.
Jackson, 47, was treated for bipolar depression at the clinic this summer. He began a medical leave of absence June 10.
Congress returns Monday after a five-week summer recess. Bryant, asked
whether Jackson would be in attendance, said: "I am hopeful that he'll
be back on the job on Monday."
Bryant said he did not know the
date Jackson checked out of Mayo. He said the congressman had planned to
drive from Minnesota to his home in Washington.
Here's hoping that he's been treated and a speedy recovery.
