After fall, Sen. Kevin Cramer rebounding from 'severe concussion'

"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," Cramer wrote on Facebook.

BISMARCK — Hundreds are sending their well wishes on Facebook after U.S. Sen.

Kevin Cramer, R-ND, posted that he had sustained injuries after an icy fall in his backyard in Bismarck on Sunday, Feb. 23. "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," Cramer wrote on Facebook. ADVERTISEMENT Now, the senator is taking a pause from his job in Washington to rest up, per doctor's orders, and taking it "day-to-day" while navigating some pretty bad headaches. "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," Cramer wrote on Facebook.

"The wound on my head wouldn’t stop oozing, so the doctor punched a couple of staples on the laceration and admitted me.".
