SPRINGFIELD -- Senator Mark Kirk (R) will have a special guest with him for the State of the Union address. He's going to bring one of his physical therapists to the speech.

Last year, Kirk suffered a massive stroke which forced him to go through months of rehabilitation before he could walk up the steps at the Capitol again. Kirk wants to highlight work physical therapists do every day.
