Ray Jones is getting impatient to get back to work after spending weeks convalescing at his northeast home.

The Ward 10 councillor was hospitalized in June for a severe concussion and four broken ribs after taking a fall on his driveway in Rundle.

Speaking about the incident publicly for the first time, Calgary’s longest-serving councillor told Postmedia that he is looking forward to returning to work in the fall and serving out the remainder of his term.

Jones was at city hall for a key vote on the arena in July and attended part of council’s recent budget-cut debates, but has been unable to work full time since his accident.

“It’ll be good to get out of my house and into the work environment. I have to admit, I like being at home, but I’ve grown bored with it,” Jones said.

Jones collapsed on his driveway June 15 after participating in a community cleanup event in his northeast ward.

“My wife and I were walking up, she turned right to go look at some flowers and I kept going,” recalled Jones.
