WASHINGTON — Connecticut Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy says he has been discharged from the hospital after suffering a stroke last weekend and will miss “several weeks” of votes in the Senate as he recovers in a rehabilitation facility.
Murphy, 53, said in a statement Friday that doctors are “encouraged by the progress” he’s made so far.
Murphy says doctors diagnosed him with a small hemorrhagic stroke, which is a bleed in the brain. Murphy says he called 911 last Saturday after feeling that “something was not right” with his body.
“This has been a scary experience for me and my family, and I appreciate the continued respect for our privacy,” he said.
