Nov. 16 (UPI) -- Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., has returned home from a Pittsburgh hospital after being treated for a fall last week during a morning walk.

"20 stitches later and a full recovery, I'm back home with @giselefetterman and the kids," he wrote on X, tagging his wife in the post. The photo in the post shows a jagged cut that stretches from above the senator's right eye, across his forehead and down onto his nose.

"I'm overwhelmed + profoundly grateful for all the well-wishes, " he continued, and thanked medical professionals at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

A spokesman said Thursday that Fettermen fell during a walk near his Braddock, Pa., home and was transported to the hospital "out of an abundance of caution."
