Johnson discharged from rehabilitation hospital
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. Tim Johnson, D-South Dakota, was discharged from a Washington, DC hospital Monday, four and a half months after suffering a brain hemorrhage.

Johnson will continue physical therapy in his Washington-area home as an out-patient of the National Rehabilitation Hospital, according to a statement released by Johnson's Senate office.

"It is wonderful to take this next step with family and friends," Johnson said in the statement. "As I continue with my therapy, I also get more and more work from the office."

Johnson suffered a brain hemorrhage on December 13, caused by an arteriovenous malformation (AVM).
