Re: KATHIE LEE GIFFORD HOSPITALIZED

@Oznell 

Thank you for letting us know.  I have a lot of respect for Kathie Lee.  She has been a star and stayed above the fray of being nude, drugged or drunk.  She stayed with her husband that she loved very much and cared for him for a long time. 

 

Now, can we feel a little empathy for her without condemning her for not being 150% compliant patient.  How many of us are that compliant?  I know that I am not.  I try to get ahead of the predicted time I am to be sick.  I want to be well more quickly and I usually get well by being active before my recommended time, but then that's just me and I empathize with this nice lady without condemining her.

Re: KATHIE LEE GIFFORD HOSPITALIZED

I don't know much about her, but it has to be awful trying to heal & do PT from the hip replacement & now having a broken pelvis on top of that.

 

Does she have osteoporosis that she broke her pelvis in 2 places by falling on the floor?  A friend's husband broke his pelvis, back & leg about 25 years ago after falling about 25' off a ladder while limbing a fir tree in their backyard in WA.  It was a very long recovery.

Re: KATHIE LEE GIFFORD HOSPITALIZED

Yikes! I hadn't heard of this. Sorry to hear about Kathie's situation. That's a lot for anyone to go though.

 

I hope she fully recovers without any complications, or resulting chronic pain issues. She is a strong lady, with lots of support systems, so hopefully this will help see her through recovery.

I saw this on TV the other day. Maybe she's still sipping the wine with Hoda long distance.

@NYwoman ,  I'm so sorry you had to go through all that with your replacement. Thanks for sharing your experience, and the details of recovery-- I didn't realize how complex it really is.

 

And for Kathie Lee, the complication of a nearby fracture right after a hip replacement must be so daunting.  Saying a prayer for uneventful recovery.

I can't claim to be a fan of hers but I have always thought she was a woman of great faith. I hope and pray that carries her thru this trial.

Re: KATHIE LEE GIFFORD HOSPITALIZED

Always liked KLG, a really good person. Some people have a hard time following doctors orders. As much as we hate to follow their orders, there’s a reason for them. That being said, I’m sorry to her Kathy was in the hospital recovering from a fracture, no matter how it happened. Here’s hoping she has a quick recovery.

Sorry to hear about this.  A horrific thing to happen.  Odd how we didn't fret about our bones when we were young but now risk of a fall is scary.

She's an Over 50 and Fabulous woman! She seems to be in good health otherwise and she takes Balance of Nature. She'll bounce back. Wishing her a quick recovery.
