Rep. Steve Scalise says congressional baseball shooting was like ‘rebuilding Humpty Dumpty’
Daily News ^ | Sept 28, 2017 | Terence Cullen

Scalise, the House Majority Whip, returned to Capitol Hill on Thursday for the first time since June, when he took a 9mm bullet to the hip during baseball practice at an Alexandria, Va. baseball field.

"I'm back," Scalise tweeted at about 10 a.m. Thursday.

House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) reportedly became emotional when he saw his longtime colleague at the Capitol on Thursday.

The gunman, James Hodgkinson, wounded five people including Scalise during the June 14 shooting, which occurred as lawmakers practiced for the Congressional Baseball Game a day later.

Caught the episode this morning. Scalise rally looks good all things considered. By the Grace of GOD he continues to stand.

I think we’re all glad he’s doing so much better.

They've already changed the article to show 7.62 mm.

They're still idiots.

Scalise entered the House chamber to applause from both wings of the Massive Government Do-Nothing Deep State Ruling Class Corrupt Career Politician Uniparty.

Odd the Uniparty’s Left Wing greeted him, given it was one of their own, a Bernie supporting Hillary voter, who shot the majority whip.

“He still has a lot of trouble walking. Two canes and hobbling from side to side.”

He’ll be ok in time, I trust.

Smashed the ball off of my femur once...Took months to get off crutches/cane.

Then a second surgery 18 months later.

The body knows how to heal itself.

God Bless Steve Scalise!

House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) reportedly became emotional when he saw his longtime colleague at the Capitol on Thursday...

Sad that he made it through?

What could one real man and Ryan possibly have in common?

Totally different injuries, so i dont know if this gives hope.

I have a 10 year old head injury that has Blown Away conventional science that the first 2 years is IT for healing.

Latest change for the better was at the 7 year mark.

Last 3..meh :)

I would think it’s easier to fix leg injuries (hip replacements, knee replacements, etc.) than head injuries.

Your mind seems fine though ;^)

Get up. Get out. See a doctor now if you think my mind is fine :)

Yeah it’s NOT the mind thing that’s killing most of our soldiers!!

It’s the HORRIFIC headaches, the waking up with tremors, the horrible insomnia (up to 60 hours at a time), the terrible tinnitus, the night terrors...and on and on all caused by damage to brain stem, thalamus, cerebellum etc.

Invisible injury that is causing our men to take their lives!!

Called LIARS because they need SSDI. (I was on for 6 years before working again).

Told it’s PTSD. It MAY be but I have ALL their symptoms and no PTSD.

Thank God for Trump and maybe they will start to make advances in the brain injury department.

ALSO, new neurons ain’t gonna help me or a lot of them!!

That does NO GOOD for the damaged neurons causing all the trouble.

They are working on “Shutting off” the damaged ones. THAT is where the big leaps will come from also, imho.

Vet, figured you’d be interested.

And P Trump saved him from the Seth Rich Dr Death

Even brought his own personal doctor

Pence went the next morning

Wonder why SWAT went to Pelosi’s before going to the ball field

I've read that there's been progress in erasing memories, which would seem to involve similar processes.

Thank God for medical research and advances.

That sounds fantastic. They are making leaps and bounds but like one doc said, “we are at the brain where we were with the heart in the 1800s”

But the 1800s didn’t have Terabyte processors :)

And yes, THANK GOD because no man created his own brain. God gives us the gift to help ourselves and each other.

But dont tell liberals that.

And thank God for a president that cares about our vets.
