Grim Prognosis for “Speaker Emerita”

abc news

Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi, 84, underwent a successful hip replacement surgery after falling while in Luxembourg with a congressional delegation, her office said Saturday.

“Earlier this morning, Speaker Emerita Pelosi underwent a successful hip replacement and is well on the mend,” her spokesman Ian Krager said in a statement. “Speaker Pelosi is grateful to U.S. military staff at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center at Landstuhl Army Base and medical staff at Hospital Kirchberg in Luxembourg for their excellent care and kindness.” More

And now the prognosis

Statistically, when a woman in her mid-80s breaks her hip, the consequences are cataclysmic. Up to 33% of older adults with hip fractures die within a year. 50% are unable to bathe, feed, wipe their butts, or dress themselves. 

About one in five end up in a long-term care facility.

During the first three months after a hip fracture, older adults have a five to eight times higher risk of dying. And this elevated mortality rate lasts nearly a decade.

An untreated hip fracture is even worse. 70% of victims are dead within a year.

  2. Downside may be that Newsom gets to pick her replacement instead of the Cali voters. I don’t wish her any ill will with her condition, but I wonder how addicted she must be to the Power of being in Congress to run for re-election at her age.

  3. She gets a hip replacement in two days….
    Meanwhile, there are probably thousands of Europeans with broken hips who can’t get a proper replacement because their socialized healthcare system sucks.
    Our Vets are probably treated just as bad, or worse.

  4. Will she apologize for J6 victims and their families and suggest it gets fixed?? Or is she still stuck in hate mode?? They’re living in hell, maybe she’ll get to meet up with them.
