FARGO - North Dakota House Majority Leader Al Carlson is convalescing at his Fargo home in a wheelchair after falling from the roof of his lake home.
Carlson says the fall occurred as he prepared to go down a ladder. He says the ladder slipped and he knew he was going to fall, either on his head or on his feet. He chose his feet.
The 8 foot fall onto concrete broke his right foot in 3 places.
He'll undergo surgery on the foot Thursday.
The left foot is in a "boot" but didn't break.
