Hundreds of Marylanders Offer letters of Well Wishes to Senator Barbara Mikulski

Annapolis MD, July 29, 2009 - In a heartwarming response to the news of Senator Barbara Mikulski’s recent ankle surgery, more than 400 Marylanders from across the state sent the Senior Senator letters of well-wishes.

The letters took different approaches. Some contained messages of encouragement, urging the senator to “use this time to get reenergized for us,” while others commended her support of healthcare reform. Still, others took a more light-hearted approach and commented that they “would like to see the other end of that kick.”

The surgery performed at Mercy Medical Center located in Baltimore City, was a result of an injury in which the senator broke her ankle in 3 places while walking down a set of stairs. Doctors reported that the surgery went well and predicted a full recovery. Senator Mikulski released a message thanking those who sent her well wishes and reaffirmed her commitment to healthcare reform.
