Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has not been medically cleared to leave a rehabilitation center and return to the Senate, the Office of the Attending Physician said Monday.

McConnell continues his closely monitored medical comeback from a fall at his home in June.

The physician's office said in a joint release with the senator's office that "OAP physicians visit with the Senator every day, discussing all aspects of his rehabilitation care."

The office said McConnell is undergoing daily physical therapy "designed to rebuild strength and reduce the risk of future falls."

Doctors say McConnell’s childhood polio "continues to be a significant factor in his mobility."

McConnell, 84, was hospitalized June 14 after the fall and has not returned to the Senate. He has not provided a timetable for his return.

"I'm still working hard to get back to my full schedule of work in the Senate and in Kentucky, keeping up with intense physical therapy per my doctors' orders," McConnell said in the Monday release.

David Popp, a McConnell spokesman, said Friday that McConnell "continues to meet with staff regarding Senate and Kentucky business, including discussions on defense appropriations, foreign policy, the farm bill, constituent services and constituent federal grant requests."

McConnell has faced growing questions over his health and absence from the Senate in recent weeks.

Scott Jennings, a former McConnell campaign aide, said last week that McConnell should "routinely update his constituents on how he's doing."

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, a Democrat, said earlier this month that after missing a month of votes, McConnell owes constituents "an explanation of what's been going on and when you'll get back."

McConnell also said Monday that his recovery will keep him from attending Kentucky's Fancy Farm Picnic this coming Saturday.

He recalled first attending the picnic 42 years ago.

"Fancy Farm was a pretty lonely place to be a Republican," he said. "But, my, how times have changed. Today, western Kentucky is a conservative Republican sea of red."

McConnell said he's sending "best wishes to the St. Jerome community for a successful picnic."

Separately, Dr. Drew Pinsky, known widely as Dr. Drew, told Newsmax on July 15 that he thinks McConnell is sicker than he lets on.

"He's a very, very sick man," Pinsky said. "If it were just simple syncope, he might have been sent home afterwards. But he's still in the hospital."

Pinsky added, "The pneumonia itself with sepsis could have caused this, but we've seen him have these episodes where he either falls or he's frozen.

"This could be cardiac arrhythmias. This could be blood pressure changes. This could be stroke, seizure, a million different things," he said.

"And he has not been forthcoming about what's going on with him," Pinsky added.
