Senator Suffers Seizure, Brain Bleed After Falling On Ice

North Dakota Republican Sen. Kevin Cramer is recovering after suffering a seizure and a brain bleed caused by a fall on ice in his home state.

Cramer shared the news in a social media post, explaining that he is now resting at home following the frightening 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,” 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.”

According to Cramer, he lost consciousness and did not wake up until he arrived at a local emergency room, where he was taken with the help of his wife, Kris.

The senator thanked supporters for their messages and noted that he would be taking time to rest as he continues his recovery.
