US Senator Mitch McConnell says he will not be returning to the Senate "quite yet" after suffering from a fall and "a mild case of pneumonia".

It is the first statement from the 84-year-old Kentucky Republican after weeks of speculation about his health, following his admission to hospital in mid-June.

A photo was released by his office, in addition to the statement, which shows McConnell with his wife holding what appeared to be Sunday's Washington Post newspaper.

Patients in hospital don't wear scrubs. They're hardly gonna scrub up and operate on themselves! They get the ass-peek gowns.

But you are allowed to put on your own clothes to take a picture, as long as they don't interfere with tubes/wires/bandages etc.
