Mikulski update
Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski, continuing her recovery from ankle surgery in July, has moved out of an in-patient rehab center and is now at a structured residential facility in Baltimore, according to her Senate office.
The 74-year-old senator, who fell leaving church on July 19, is continuing to undergo physical therapy and remains wheelchair-bound.
Over the weekend, Mikulski was among the invited guests at the burial service for the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy at Arlington National Cemetery, said her spokeswoman, Rachel MacKnight.
The Baltimore Democrat has had no public events during the four-week Senate recess but plans to return to Washington with the rest of her colleagues on Tuesday, Sept. 8. One week later, if her recovery continues on schedule, she will be able to put weight on her ankle for the first time, the aide said.
