Story highlights Kelley Paul, the senator's wife, says this was not a "scuffle," a "fight" or an "altercation"It was a deliberate, blindside attack, she writesKelley Paul is the wife of Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky. Since November 3, my husband, Rand Paul, has not taken a single one without pain. He has not had a single night's sleep uninterrupted by long periods of difficult breathing or excruciating coughing. Despite this, he refused to give in to the pain and was determined to fly back to Washington last week to do his job. With Rand's travel to D.C. in the last seven years, he has rarely seen this man at all.
