U.S. Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., released a bloody photo of himself on Saturday, revealing he had received 20 stitches from a fall earlier in the week near his Pennsylvania home.

“20 stitches later and a full recovery, I’m back home with @giselefetterman and the kids,” Fetterman said on X.

“I’m overwhelmed + profoundly grateful for all the well-wishes. Truly.

“Grateful for @UPMC for the incredible medical care that put me back together.”

“THANK YOU SO MUCH. See you back in DC.”

A spokesperson for Fetterman previously indicated that Fetterman on Thursday morning “sustained a fall near his home in Braddock.”

“Out of an abundance of caution, he was transported to a hospital in Pittsburgh,” the spokesperson said.

“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.”

In 2024, both Fetterman and his wife were injured when the senator crashed their car into the back of a Chevy Impala in Maryland.

A police report noted Fetterman was “at fault,” as he was traveling “at a high rate of speed, well over the posted speed limit” at the time of the collision.

Feterman suffered a stroke in May 2022, after which the Democrat said he had difficulty fully processing language.
