335. Can't cover up this massive swelling. His eye is swollen shut, like a boxer.

Any impact that causes something that bad is also forceful enough to cause a concussion, or fracture, or internal bleeding. That could lead to a stroke or brain damage. That's true for ANYONE, young or old, fit or frail... but in the elderly, it's especially true.

it's called a "bandage"!! haha!!

The bandage only covers the stitches. The powder foundation is being used to try an cover the massive bruising. But there's no amount of makeup that can disguise the swelling.

I feel so sorry for him. It's too bad he's taking unnecessary risks.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

You most certainly did! Have a good one... peace.	InAbLuEsTaTe	Mar 2019	#110
I walked into a corner of a cabinet once	backtoblue	Mar 2019	#83
Was it in a dark room? NT	Eric J in MN	Mar 2019	#128
Nope	backtoblue	Mar 2019	#129
He probably forgot to duck. My shower doors hang from an aluminum frame.	WheelWalker	Mar 2019	#90
Ouch, seven sutures for "precaution" sounds kind of weird.	Laffy Kat	Mar 2019	#91
Who would want to hold back information in a campaign? I like the new "Bernie standard"...	InAbLuEsTaTe	Mar 2019	#229
I'm not a Bernie Sanders fan....	quickesst	Mar 2019	#94
Do you think it's likely he got this laceration without slipping or falling? n/t	pnwmom	Mar 2019	#95
Bernie's explanation IS highly suspicious... perhaps, an FBI investigation is in order?!	InAbLuEsTaTe	Mar 2019	#109
I have no clue...	quickesst	Mar 2019	#117
Right. Slipping in the bathroom could happen to anybody.	pnwmom	Mar 2019	#121
Seems that way....	quickesst	Mar 2019	#124
My 84-year old dad hit his head on the shower door once.	RandySF	Mar 2019	#107
Did he get stiches?	Cha	Mar 2019	#113
No, but he got a nasty scratch.	RandySF	Mar 2019	#116
Was it a sliding door or a swinging door? NT	Eric J in MN	Mar 2019	#127
You got ME in stitches... LMFAO with all this speculation over Bernie bumping his head!!	InAbLuEsTaTe	Mar 2019	#137
All of your replies on this thread totallly show a lack of concern	ehrnst	Mar 2019	#337
Since when	radical noodle	Mar 2019	#123
Now that's using your "noodle" Noodle!!	InAbLuEsTaTe	Mar 2019	#138
Suggestions that he was so upset by Beto's entry that he threw himself thru a glass shower door...	CrossingTheRubicon	Mar 2019	#125
That's funny, tho it actually makes more sense than some of the other crazy explanations stated here	InAbLuEsTaTe	Mar 2019	#139
Wasn't Bernie considered a non-factor when he began his campaign in 2015?	TexasTowelie	Mar 2019	#148
I've smacked my head on a shower door many times	happybird	Mar 2019	#143

don't like Bernie...	handmade34	Mar 2019	#154
You don't get stitches "out of precaution"	mcar	Mar 2019	#158
Head wounds bleed profusely. You do go to a walk in clinic "out of precaution"	Autumn	Mar 2019	#170
That's true... lots of blood vessels in the old noggin'!!	InAbLuEsTaTe	Mar 2019	#231
The belief that one must faint or slip and fall to get a head injury requiring stitches is silly.	Autumn	Mar 2019	#248
Head wounds bleed profusely	mcar	Mar 2019	#254
They did admit he got injured, that's why the 7 stitches. Your problem is with the shitty	Autumn	Mar 2019	#258
I wonder if the doctor advised him to rest.	lapucelle	Mar 2019	#264
True	mcar	Mar 2019	#310
How exactly would they determine where to put the "precautionary stitches"?	lapucelle	Mar 2019	#185
Who said he received "precautionary stitches"? It's not in any article. Just a few people	Autumn	Mar 2019	#280
This guy...	lapucelle	Mar 2019	#282
"How exactly would they determine where to put the "precautionary stitches"?" You asked.	Autumn	Mar 2019	#284
I don't understand why any head injury requiring stitches would be treated at a walk-in clinic.	lapucelle	Mar 2019	#290
Anyone with a head wound would go to a walk in clinic or an ER if they are in another state.	Autumn	Mar 2019	#299
I would think that a local walk in would refer him to a local hospital emergency room.	lapucelle	Mar 2019	#300
No they don't always refer you to an ER. If you have an injury they treat you and determine	Autumn	Mar 2019	#303
Actually, if there was any chance you were knocked out	R B Garr	Mar 2019	#313
You don't know that he slipped and fell or that he was knocked out. If he did	Autumn	Mar 2019	#314
Who said he had brain injuries. This is why you keep	R B Garr	Mar 2019	#315
I'm not the one fabricating the idea that he slipped and fell and was knocked out.You are.	Autumn	Mar 2019	#316
You are fabricating that he didn't, so it's the same thing.	R B Garr	Mar 2019	#317
His story never changed, it's right there in both articles. You just don't accept it. nt	Autumn	Mar 2019	#318
Again, for the last time His story has not changed. Both articles state he did not slip and fall.	Autumn	Mar 2019	#319
Before they passed, my mom and dad lived in nursing homes.	MoonRiver	Mar 2019	#177
And most of those places have grab bars.	True Blue American	Mar 2019	#223
That's true. Maybe Bernie should install some.	MoonRiver	Mar 2019	#232
I didn't know Alex Jones was on DU, cause the conspiracy theories are flying.	vsrazdem	Mar 2019	#178
I've never heard of "precautionary stitches". Is that something new?	lapucelle	Mar 2019	#182
Actually, it's something made up.	DLevine	Mar 2019	#187
"Precautionary stitches" is not used in the articles. Several people are using that phrase.	Autumn	Mar 2019	#210
It's coming from shit-stirrers who want to divide us.	DLevine	Mar 2019	#212
NOT a Bernie-fan, but this is just as ridiculous as when it was done to Hillary.	SaveOurDemocracy	Mar 2019	#186
Agree. Let's work together. nt	DLevine	Mar 2019	#188
People are just trying to push buttons.	joshcryer	Mar 2019	#224

Ahh. Another of the many mysteries surrounding Mr. Sanders.	Squinch	Mar 2019	#203

Slip-and-falls happen to everyone. I've had my share.	backscatter712	Mar 2019	#217
I think he would have sustained other injuries if he fell at his age.	RandySF	Mar 2019	#219
Precisely!! The fact that Bernie didn't suffer worse injuries PROVES he's in phenomenal shape	InAbLuEsTaTe	Mar 2019	#236
It "proves" nothing of the sort. We only know what they tell us...	NurseJackie	Mar 2019	#238
So then, why is Bernie out-campaigning ALL of his fellow Democrats?!	InAbLuEsTaTe	Mar 2019	#243
The answer is: he's not.	NurseJackie	Mar 2019	#244
You're just not paying close enough attention... and that's why Bernie is winning!!	InAbLuEsTaTe	Mar 2019	#245
LOL!	NurseJackie	Mar 2019	#246
Can't have it both ways, eh!! Ouch!!	InAbLuEsTaTe	Mar 2019	#247
Can't stand it when I'm right, eh!! Ouch!	NurseJackie	Mar 2019	#250
Keep telling yourself that... you may start actually believing it.	InAbLuEsTaTe	Mar 2019	#252
It's not about what I believe, it's about what's true. You can't have it both ways.	NurseJackie	Mar 2019	#259
Thank you for proving my point!!	InAbLuEsTaTe	Mar 2019	#267
No... thank YOU for proving MINE!	NurseJackie	Mar 2019	#270
Yes, just keep repeating everything I say... THAT'LL work!!	InAbLuEsTaTe	Mar 2019	#273
Nobody is doing that.	NurseJackie	Mar 2019	#274

I think some elderly people who live a sedentary lifestyle with all the accompanying ill health...	Hassin Bin Sober	Mar 2019	#253
Exactly right!! Somebody else who gets it!!	InAbLuEsTaTe	Mar 2019	#257
The photos bear out the fact that he suffered a head wound that's being covered up...	lapucelle	Mar 2019	#275
LOL!! Yes, Bernie's head wound IS being covered up... it's called a "bandage"!! haha!!	InAbLuEsTaTe	Mar 2019	#279
So, it is true	lapucelle	Mar 2019	#281
YESSSSS!! Go with it!!	InAbLuEsTaTe	Mar 2019	#293
Can't cover up this massive swelling. His eye is swollen shut, like a boxer.	NurseJackie	Mar 2019	#335
The two things are unrelated.	NurseJackie	Mar 2019	#255
Thank you.	Tipperary	Mar 2019	#312
If he hit his head, the rest of his is irrelevant.	RandySF	Mar 2019	#239
Not necessarily.	NurseJackie	Mar 2019	#241
Worse injuries than a gash that required 7 stitches and gave him a black eye? n/t	pnwmom	Mar 2019	#242
We've really reached a new low here with the Bernie conspiracies.What's next? Did he shoot JFK?	Power 2 the People	Mar 2019	#240
Showergate	Lunabell	Mar 2019	#251
Yesss!! Better known as "showerWATERgate"!! Bernie needs to "come clean" over the shower incident...	InAbLuEsTaTe	Mar 2019	#295
Oh, just saw the part about the black eye, although I	R B Garr	Mar 2019	#262
It doesn't look very good.	NurseJackie	Mar 2019	#265
Okay, so you could see the black eye? I couldn't see	R B Garr	Mar 2019	#266
It was visible in those photos (the HD ones)...	NurseJackie	Mar 2019	#272
Thanks, NJ. I'm on an iPhone and couldn't see it. nt	R B Garr	Mar 2019	#278
I am sorry - I like the message of Sanders, but not the Messenger....	Pachamama	Mar 2019	#302
This. Spot on.	Tipperary	Mar 2019	#308
He was looking for his tax returns....	Adrahil	Mar 2019	#307
Or... He fainted when Jane said "Found them! Here they are!"	NurseJackie	Mar 2019	#360
That eye looks puffy too. No surprise with that kind of injury.	Tipperary	Mar 2019	#309
This will help Bernie delay his tax returns. Very clever.	redstateblues	Mar 2019	#311
