US Senator Richard Blumenthal Had Surgery After Fracturing Leg at UConn Title Parade

Not every part of the parade honoring the UConn men's basketball team's national championship was something to celebrate.

At least not for U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal.

The Democrat revealed Saturday that he suffered a fractured femur when "a fellow parade goer tripped & fell on me during the parade today."

What can I say, I love a parade! Thanks to Chris & everyone for the well wishes. I did indeed fracture my femur after a fellow parade goer tripped & fell on me during the parade today. Routine surgery tomorrow just to make sure everything heals properly.
