“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. 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,” says North Dakota Senator Kevin Cramer in a Facebook post. Or probably it was his staff writing in the first person.
“I had a good night sleep before getting a second CT Scan. I am better today with only a slight brain bleed and pretty bad headaches. Doctors prefer I rest a little longer before returning to DC, so I do not know exactly when that will happen. It will be day to day this week, but I am ready to return quickly if events require it,” the post from the Republican or his staff members continued.
It’s Cramer’s second household accident requiring hospitalization since 2022, when he completely fucked up his hand while plating around with a lawnmower. Since then his 43 year-old son Ian also killed a cop during a high speed chase and was subsequently sentenced to 28 years in the joint.
