Sen. Mark Kirk: Updates his condition in first video since his stroke

The video features scenes of Kirk at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago learning to walk and direct shot of Kirk talking about how anxious he is to get back to work in the Senate–and his goal of being able to walk those 45 steps to his office.
