Statement from Sen. Fetterman’s Spokesperson:
“During an early morning walk, Senator Fetterman sustained a fall near his home in Braddock.
Out of an abundance of caution, he was transported to a hospital in Pittsburgh.
Upon evaluation, it was established he had a ventricular fibrillation flare-up that led to Senator Fetterman feeling light-headed, falling to the ground and hitting his face with minor injuries.
Senator Fetterman had this to say: ‘If you thought my face looked bad before, wait until you see it now!’
He is doing well and receiving routine observation at the hospital. He has opted to stay so doctors can fine-tune his medication regimen.
Senator Fetterman is grateful for the EMTs, doctors, and nurses who are providing his care.”
@sarasidnerCNN You are in my prayers! 🙏🙏I’m a 16 year survivor of stage 2 Triple Negative breast cancer. Take it one day at a time and stay positive. You are saving lives by bravely talking about it. I know the pain you feel and I know the gift of realizing what really matters in life. ❤️🩹
@DavidAFrench Sending prayers. I know what she’s going through. Survived the same triple- negative diagnosis in 2007. Chemo, radiation and several surgeries. May she feel the love and support and focus on each day. So much reason to hold on to hope. ❤️🩹 🙏
@svershbow I did this when going through chemo and we kept doing it for years after as the kids were young and I was spread thin. Definitely worth it if you can swing it. Mine was just a few hours one day a week.
