NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A Tennessee state senator who suffered an aneurysm earlier this month has left the hospital. Tennessee Senate Republican Caucus spokesperson Darlene Schlicher said Monday that Sen. Kerry Roberts has been released from the hospital and will be on bed rest at home for the upcoming days.

She says his medical team expects a full recovery from the Oct. 9 health scare in which he experienced a subarachnoid hemorrhage.

The Mayo Clinic says that means bleeding in the space between the brain and the surrounding membrane. Roberts is a Republican from Springfield.
