“Senator Johnson is back,” said South Dakota Sen. John Thume, on the floor of the senate on September 5, 2007. Senator Thume spoke of Sen. Johnson’s 9-month ordeal after he suffered a brain hemorrhage.
Sen. Thume said his recovery has been progressing. He has difficulty speaking, slurring and pronouncing words at a very slow pace. His recovery depends on how fast his brain injury heals.
Congress welcomed Sen. Johnson back to the senate floor. After everyone gave a standing ovation Sen. Thume said, “I know how tough this man is.” The fact that he is back serves Democrats well, because otherwise they would loose the majority. Sen. Johnson mentioned the possibility of returning and running for president in 2008.
On December 12, he felt ill while having a phone interview with reporters. He was conscious while being transported to Washington University Hospital. There, being diagnosed with arterivenous malformation, a condition that causes arteries and veins in the brain to grow abnormally large and sometimes break, he was immediatedly taken to surgery.
