Harry Reid had an accident while exercising, the Senate Democratic leader's office tells reporters.
Here's the full statement:
On Thursday, Senator Reid received treatment at University Medical Center in Las Vegas for injuries sustained in an accident he suffered while exercising at home in Henderson.
A piece of equipment Senator Reid was using to exercise broke, causing him to fall and break a number of ribs and bones in his face.
Senator Reid will return to Washington this weekend and be in the office Tuesday as the Senate prepares to reconvene. His doctors expect a full recovery.
Senator Reid was first brought to St. Rose Dominican Hospital in Henderson by his security detail. He was then transferred to UMC for further testing, where he was admitted overnight as a precaution.

Hey, nice face and ribs ya got here.
The evening news said those stretchy bands broke. Everyone here hollered no way.

POS ‘rat on a treadmill fell down? Karma.
At 75, yeap people fall down. He’s lucky he didn’t break something more important.
That’s a shame. :)
Harry’s wife is one tough old bird. She probably looked at him over the breakfast table once too often and proceeded to kick the sh*t out of him. She is SO lucky!
If it was truly due to his exhaustive exercise program then perhaps his ball bag malfunctioned. Hope his Obamacare sends him home with a little pain pill.
Any re-arranging of his putrid face would be a vast improvement.
Get well Harry so she can do it all over again.
