Sen. Bernie Sanders cut his head on a glass shower door on Friday morning and received seven stitches, his campaign announced.

But the 2020 candidate was given a "clean bill of health" and will attend all of his previously scheduled campaign events over the next couple days.

Arianna Jones, a Sanders spokeswoman, said "out of precaution, he went to a walk-in clinic" to have the cut checked out.

Stumbles and falls are the enemy of the elderly. The mind and body ain't what they should be. Shite happens.

Still hurts. Speedy recovery. Oh, and sorry you lost your comb also.
