He sustained minor injuries to his face and was under “routine observation” at the hospital while doctors fine-tune his medication regimen, his office said.
The office’s statement quoted the senator as saying, “If you thought my face looked bad before, wait until you see it now!’”
Fetterman, 55, suffered a stroke in 2022, during his campaign for the Senate. Afterward, he had a pacemaker with a defibrillator implanted to manage a heart condition that can cause clotting and resultant strokes.
The lingering effects of his stroke include diminished auditory processing speed, which makes it hard to speak fluidly and quickly process spoken conversation into meaning.
