(BISMARCK, ND) – Senator Kevin Cramer says he suffered a head injury after a fall at his Bismarck home.
“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,” he wrote on Facebook. “While walking on the hill down to the dock, I stepped on ice and evidently fell hard, hitting the back of my head.”
Cramer says he doesn’t remember anything from the fall until he arrived at the Sanford emergency room, accompanied by his wife, Kris.
Doctors diagnosed Cramer with a severe concussion, a seizure, and a slight brain bleed.
He says he will be resting before returning to Washington, DC.
“I do not know exactly when that will happen,” Cramer said about the return to Washington. “It will be day to day this week, but I am ready to return quickly if events require it.”
