MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Rep. Mark Pocan is returning to Washington eight weeks after having triple bypass surgery. The 53-year-old Democrat said Wednesday that he’s lost 15 pounds since the pre-emptive surgery. The congressman underwent the surgery in Madison after tests revealed he had severe blockage in three arteries. Pocan plans to fly back to Washington next week. He says he began jogging on Wednesday as part of his rehabilitation program and feels “really good.”
