I saw her on TV. She looked very thin and wan. But good for her for showing up!

She's a tough woman. The people of her district should be proud to have her as their representative.

It was good to see her.

After such a devastating head injury, I wonder what her cognitive level of functioning is. Is it high enough to understand complex bills, even with the help of assistants?

I know it is always joked about how stupid Congress is, but I am truly curious about her level of understanding. I haven't seen anything specific like relating it to grade level or IQ.

Saw it on TV. It was beautiful to see her there! Hopefully her presence will remind people about their promise to curb personal attacks.

I think it was the perfect moment to show up and provided much needed PR to the Democrats. I do wonder about how much she has recovered and if she wasn't pressured to be present. But, it is good to see her doing well.

Good for her. I didn't think she really looked like she knew what was going on, but that made her fit in all the better I guess.
