PITTSBURGH — Sen. John Fetterman is back at home after a fall on Thursday sent him to the hospital. The Democratic senator posted on X that, “20 stitches later and a full recovery,” he’s returned home to be with his wife, Gisele, and kids. Fetterman shared a photo showing his injuries. According to a spokesperson, Fetterman was on a morning walk when he suffered a “ventricular fibrillation flare-up” near his Braddock home. This caused him to feel light-headed and fall, suffering injuries to the face. Fetterman remained in the hospital so doctors could “fine-tune his medication regimen,” the spokesperson said. “I’m overwhelmed + profoundly grateful for all the well-wishes. Truly,” Fetterman said on X. “Grateful for @UPMC for the incredible medical care that put me back together. THANK YOU SO MUCH. See you back in DC.”
