Local News in Brief : Bernardi on Mend From Head Injury
Los Angeles City Councilman Ernani Bernardi said Thursday that he feels “just fine” after being hospitalized for a head injury suffered in a fall at his Van Nuys home.
Asked if he still plans to run for reelection in April, the northeast San Fernando Valley councilman said from his room at Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Panorama City, “As of now, certainly.”
The 77-year-old Bernardi, suffering from a flu-like virus, received five stitches to the back of his head Wednesday after collapsing and hitting his head on a kitchen cabinet. He said he expects to stay at the hospital for a few days for tests.
