Kathie Lee Gifford hospitalized after fracturing her pelvis
Kathie Lee Gifford’s recovery from hip replacement surgery has suffered a set back. The 70-year-old former daytime TV talk show host told People magazine she fell and fractured her pelvis in two places. Gifford told the publication she “moved 300 books by myself” during recent book signings in Nashville.
“I weakened my body,” she said. “It’s my own fault.”
The next day, Gifford said, she was rushing to let in a visiting friend when she tripped and fell.
“And the next thing you know, I am back in the hospital with a fractured pelvis, the front and the back,” she said. “That’s more painful than anything I went through with the hip. The pelvis is unbelievably painful. But anyway, here I am.”

“I’m going to get out to my little farm one of these days and stick my feet in my salt pool,” she said. “The Lord is telling me it’s time to slow down. I’ve been running my whole life. The Lord is telling me, ‘You’ve planted a gazillion roses. Try smelling them.’ “
Her latest book is titled, “Herod and Mary: The True Story of the Tyrant King and the Mother of the Risen Savior.”

That. Is. PAINFUL.
I'm not a fan by any means but I hope she recovers well.

Typically when an elderly woman breaks a hip or pelvis they begin the downward slide.

50% of most old people who break a hip at that age die within a couple of years. Not from the break but from all the medical complications, weakened immune systems, the flu.
Falling like that is the equivalent of flushing the toilet, circling the drain it's only a matter of time unless you are a floater.

And now the parody. I know, I know, the original was campy enough but that was not their intent.

She seems young to be breaking a hip.
Being very thin can exacerbate osteoporosis and cause bone fractures. Wonder if that's the problem.

At the age of 80+. Not at the age of 70 in 2024.

300 books? That sounds do-able for a 70-year-old. Move 'em a few at a time.

I was mystified by the title of her book.. and then mortified that she has had this sideline of co authoring faith based books for decades...
going back to 1976 with her tome The Quiet Riot, foreward by Anita Bryant.

When she had her child labor scandal in the 90s I always pictured her singing this in a sweatshop while 8 year olds made her tacky clothes.

Affluent women in particular are often in denial about aging and end up paying attention to externals. My partner's 80-year-old galpal just ran to her doctor because she had an allergic reaction to a skin fading cream she applied to her arms. Yes, she was concerned about dark spots on her arms. She was worried about that, not the fact that she shouldn't be driving and can't finish sentences.
KL is an asshole who has to make this injury about how hard she works. A normal person would say, "I'm feeling well, am in great spirits, am grateful to my medical team and am looking forward to a complete recovery." The end.

Since it always all comes back to Follies… Sondheim himself rewrote this for KLG (“fucking” replacing “goddamn”) and having seen both her and Carol Burnett in the show at the time, KLG was arguably better fitted for this production, as it was; take that as you will…

Did they call it a "factured pelvis" because "broken hip" makes her sound old?
Or did she, in fact, fracture her pelvis.

I’m acquainted with someone who broke her pelvis - she got her coat caught in a taxi door, it took off and dragged her. This was NYC, so pedestrians stopped the cab. Otherwise she’d have been killed.

Physical therapy and remaining as active is important when it comes to a hip injury to rebounding to former physical state.
