Wow I just realized I did not know who the two senators from Illinois were......not sure what to think of that.

Doesn't seem to be serious, or at least not-serious as a stroke can be.

From what they are saying now, he is likely to regain 100% of his mental abilities. But there is a good chance he won't ever be back to normal physically, probably losing some use of his left arm and/or leg.

 

Jeez, this guy is only 52. And he's one of the few national or high level politicians in Illinois I actually respect. Hopefully he recovers as much as is possible.

They were covering this on Chicago Tonight, which I had on in the background yesterday. Sounds like a completely freak occurrence, kinda like an aneurysm in that it can be completely unpredictable. They've had to remove several inches of his skull to alleviate pressure.

Man that's pretty terrible to hear. Hope he recovers... well, as much as you can from a stroke, but it's a good thing it wasn't a lot worse.
