Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N. D. ) has confirmed that he suffered a” severe concussion, a seizure and a slight brain bleed” after falling on ice in the backyard of his residence in North Dakota on Sunday.
The 64-year-old legislator stated in a Facebook post on Monday that his fall happened on Sunday afternoon as he was attempting to retrieve a piece of pipe from his port that was on the snow.
I stepped on frost while walking down the hill, and it was obvious that I fell difficult, hitting the back of my head, according to Cramer. ” I do not remember anything from the fall until arriving at , Sanford Health emergency room with]wife ] Kris. After seeing the incident doctor, taking some tests, including a CT Scan, and seeing a physician, I was diagnosed with a serious injury, a arrest, and a little brain bleed”.
” The scar on my head haven’t quit oozing, so the physician punched a couple of items on the incision and admitted me”, Cramer added. Before getting a minute CT scan, I had a great night’s sleep. Today’s headaches and a little brain bleed make up my better days.

” I need to pay more attention to her”, Cramer concluded. I’m appreciative of her and the Sanford specialists who take such great care of me. God is good”!
