Rep. Gabrielle Giffords spoke on national TV for the first time since she was shot in January, telling ABC World News’s Diane Sawyer in a clip aired Thursday that while things are “difficult,” she is feeling “pretty good.”

Sawyer teased the brief clip during her show to an upcoming hour-long special — set to air Monday — focused on Giffords’s intensive recovery from the Jan. 8 shooting when a gunman killed six people and shot the congresswoman in the head at a constituent meeting near Tucson, Ariz.

In the exchange, the anchor asked Giffords: “How do you feel?”

“Pretty good,” she replied.

Sawyer then asked: “Is it painful, is it hard?”

With her husband, Mark Kelly, by her side, Giffords responded: “Difficult.”

In the segment called “Gabby Speaks,” Sawyer said there are hours of videotape of Giffords’s “astounding, determined journey.”
