January 3 marks the first day of the new Congress and the spokeswoman says the Senator “remains on track” to be there when the Senate convenes for the 113th Congress. In late January doctors discovered a carotid artery dissection in the right side of Kirk’s neck, revealing he had suffered an ischemic stroke. The senator underwent surgery to relieve swelling around his brain stemming from the stroke but doctors cautioned it would be a long recovery ahead and Kirk has not been back to Washington since. Kirk’s office has been active in sending out updates, photos and video of his recovery over the past year. In late April, Kirk’s office released the first photograph of the senator in the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, noting that he “remains fully engaged in all aspects of his rehabilitation program,” and they are “quite pleased” with his recovery.
