WASHINGTON — John Fetterman had been here before — but not really.
There were no billowy pink blooms on the cherry blossoms the first time around. The Washington Monument didn't seem to pop quite as boldly against the sky in January. When people approached to congratulate him, or ask for a picture, he felt numb, instead of flattered, like he does now.
Fetterman says his return to the Capitol this week after six weeks of hospitalization for treatment for clinical depression was his first time experiencing the Senate as himself.
