1. Not surprising

Knowing her, she probably wants to be back on the House floor going 101% and wants it yesterday.
If there's anyone who can come back from a wound like hers, Gabby is the one.

We usually celebrate New Year's Eve together, and I'm sure she wants to be in shape to make the trip.
I'm not sure she'll make it this year, but her will is strong enough that I give it an even chance.
