The senator doesn’t remember the event, he said.

He was diagnosed with a seizure, brain bleed and a concussion, adding, “The wound on my head wouldn’t stop oozing, so the doctor punched a couple of staples on the laceration and admitted me.”
Cramer described “pretty bad headaches” the following day but said the brain bleed had improved.

“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,” he wrote.
Included in the senator’s post were photos of bloody snow and his head with staples applied to the wound.
