For those that have listen to Neal's Imaginary Alias repeating his
imaginary medical reports from his imaginary friend's Nurse; here is the
official medical release;

WASHINGTON - Sen. Tim Johnson has been conscious at times since his
emergency brain surgery last week, his spokeswoman said Monday. But he
is currently being sedated so he can rest.
The South Dakota Democrat has made it through the first 72 hours since
the Wednesday evening brain surgery, spokeswoman Julianne Fisher said, a
benchmark that doctors consider a good sign for recovery.
The senator remains in critical but stable condition, she added.
Fisher said the next "target" for doctors is to watch his progress over
the next week.
The senator showed some signs of recovery late last week, responding to
voices, opening his eyes and moving his limbs. But his long-term
prognosis is still unclear

Republican Neal's joyous out look for the return of a Republican Senate
is very slim and far from coming to pass.
