Loading ...RE: Pelosi
You are right in that the bone could have broken and THEN she fell. That is exactly what happened to my mother. Calcium poor diet. She was standing in soft garden soil, talking to a neighbor. She went to take a step and toppled over with a broken femur. Fortunately landed in soft soil and the neighbor was there to call for help. Orthos couldn’t patch the splintered bone so installed two brace rods from each end of the femur, and put her on calcium supplements for the rest of her years.
Word has it that Pelosi suffered a broken hip. She will be bedridden for a LONG time, and lucky if she can tolerate a wheelchair later. That is practically a death sentence for an elder with poor bones that does not heal well… as I’m sure you know.
Edit: Ah, now I read she had a hip joint replacement. A bit less serious than a whole hip bone ‘cage’ break, which leaves internal organs unsupported. We shall see.
