Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on Sunday that he has “completely recovered” from a series of troubling events this summer in which he froze up and couldn’t talk to reporters.

“I’m okay. McConnell, 81, told CBS’s Margaret Brennan on “Face the Nation” that he was okay after the surgery. “I’m in good health, fully recovered, and back at work.”

Early this year, the politician caused a lot of worry about this person’s health at two different press appearances in July and August. During the first, McConnell stopped talking all of a sudden and couldn’t start again before being led away by staff. The same thing seemed to happen again a month later when he was talking about his plans to run for re-election.

He has mostly avoided talking about his health, only saying that he is “fine” and that he plans to finish his time in the Senate as planned. In August, the senator said that the supervising doctor at the U.S. Capitol had given him the all-clear to go back to work, saying there was no proof that McConnell had a seizure problem or had had a stroke.

At the time, the doctor, Brian Monahan, said, “in some cases, feeling dizzy is normal during recovery from a concussion and can also be a sign of dehydration.”

After falling at a dinner earlier this year, McConnell was taken to the hospital with a headache and broken ribs.

Brennan tried to ask McConnell about his ability and desire to serve in the future on Sunday, but McConnell refused.

“I think we should be talking about what we were talking about earlier instead of my health,” he said, referring to the policy talks that had been going on earlier in the show.
