Sen. Dan McConchie (R-Hawthorn Woods) is vowing to be back on the job soon after making a trip to a hospital emergency room following a skiing accident in Wisconsin.
"Took a spill just after this was shot, which caused me to head to the local ER," McConchie wrote Monday in a caption on a video posted to his Facebook page of him skiing with VA members. "But that's not going to keep me down. Will be back at it shortly. Never give up ... never give in ... keep pushing ahead."
The veteran senator has been confined to a wheelchair since 2007 when he suffered a spinal cord injury in a hit-and-run crash while riding a motorcycle in Mundelein.
Around the same time that the McConchie video was posted to his Facebook page, Lake County Republican Central Committee Chairman Mark Shaw sent a letter to local GOP leaders asking them to keep McConchie in their prayers for a full recovery.
