Another consideration is that she cannot sustain another fall like that.
So she is going to need to be careful.

Sustained serious injuries and had a hip replacement to repair the hip injury.
We don't know how bad the original injury was, or if there were other injuries as well.
The mortality rate for a fall resulting in a hip break is quite different from just a hip replacement.

I keep saying over and over she had a hip replacement.
So arguing with me about it is quite ridiculous.
I have said it three times.

(10,669 posts)I would guess that's what happened to Speaker Pelosi. She's super healthy, thin and fit, unlike many elderly people that have to have a hip replacement. She should have a decent recovery.
