North Dakota Republican Sen. Kevin Cramer suffered a seizure and a brain bleed after slipping and falling on ice in his home state.
The Republican senator took to social media to share the news, revealing that he is resting and recovering at home in the state following the incident over the weekend.
“Late yesterday afternoon, I walked to my backyard intending to retrieve a piece of conduit which came off my dock and was laying on the ice. While walking on the hill down to the dock, I stepped on ice and evidently fell hard, hitting the back of my head,” Cramer wrote in a Facebook post.
The Republican said he blacked out until he was brought to a local emergency room, accompanied by his wife, Kris.
“I do not remember anything from the fall until arriving at Sanford Health emergency room with Kris. After seeing the emergency doctor, taking some tests, including a CT Scan, and seeing a neurologist, I was diagnosed with a severe concussion, a seizure, and a slight brain bleed. The wound on my head wouldn’t stop oozing, so the doctor punched a couple of staples on the laceration and admitted me.
