Rep. Giffords Leaves Rehab Hospital
While “home” undoubtedly is her district in Tucson, AZ, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords went home today from TIRR Memorial Hermann Hospital to her husband Mark Kelly’s home in League City, TX. Kelly is a NASA astronaut. League City is close to NASA’s Johnson Space Center where astronauts train.
Giffords will continue to go to TIRR every day for outpatient therapy. The hospital released a statement saying that “her cognitive abilities and physical strength have improved to the poiint where she no longer needs to remain a patient in the hospital.”
In an Arizona Republic story republished on the congresswoman’s website, her spokesman, CJ Karamargin, is quoted as saying that she is “elated.” The newspaper also quotes Kelly as saying that his wife loves to be outside and now, while she will still go to TIRR daily, “when she finishes rehab, she will be with her family.”
