Member of Parliament for St. Peter The Honorable\u00a0Asot Michael returned to Antigua and Barbuda today, eager to return to parliament to serve his constituents.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Michael spent ten days at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota undergoing surgery on his back. The procedure was to correct two herniated discs that were pressing against his spinal cord.<\/p>\n

After his successful recovery, the MP returned home and said his first order of business will be to attend the next parliamentary sitting on Thursday.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

“I am going to parliament on Thursday to represent my people,” Michael who won overwhelmingly at the last poll said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

He also thanked the many well-wishers and friends who supported him with their many prayers, phone calls, and text messages while in the hospital.<\/p>\n

“It is only through the help of the Almighty God, for he has been so good to me, family, well-wishers, and constituents that I am able to overcome this ordeal,” he said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The St. Peter MP said he has returned with a new vigor and enthusiasm to continue to contribute to Antigua and Barbuda’s development.<\/p>\n

He was met at the airport by his staff, well-wishers, and friends.<\/p>
