Zsa Zsa Gabor Has Hip Replaced

By PopEater Staff Posted Jul 19th 2010 03:07PM

Two days after shattering several bones following a nasty spill out of her bed, 93-year-old actress Zsa Zsa Gabor has a brand-new hip on Monday following successful surgery, her husband announced.

"This is the happiest day of my life," her husband Prince Frederic von Anhalt told reporters outside their home Monday afternoon.

Von Anhalt said the surgery lasted three hours and "went well" in spite of the risks involved. "It is a dangerous surgery at her age," he noted. He said Gabor received care from the same surgeon who repaired California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger broken femur in 2006.

Gabor was watching 'Jeopardy' at her home in Bel-Air, California on Saturday night when she fell when trying to answer a phone call. Gabor has been partially paralyzed since a 2002 car accident -- publicist John Blanchette describes her as "pretty much bedridden and wheelchair-bound for the last eight years."

The glitzy star, who had a stroke five years ago, was listed in serious condition at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center after the fall.

"She's fragile, but she's still very bright -- she still makes me laugh," Blanchette said of recent visits with Gabor. "Her faculties are intact, but her body's failing her."

Her sister Ava was doing so good until she left Hootersville.
Zsa Zsa should move in with Mr. Hainey. He has a solid & respectable merchandise emporium business & he certainly wouldn't let her get into any trouble. Ralph could build a garage for her Rolls (sorry but this is a slice of Zsa Zsa reality).....Al-

Mel Gibson should get rehab. He ended his carreer himself,his brain is burned out.His behavior is a result of the role he played in movies.
Actually he could make a movie out of his personal life and it's going to fit him perfect.But that would be the end. Retire in US. This is where he became big deal.But he is man that is how humans behave.
He needs help before he trn worst!

What has this got to do with Zsa Zsa?

I think that the orthopedic surgeon who wants to do this procedure must be out of his mind and in desperate need of money. At 93 years old to have a hip replacement is insane because the bones are so fragile. I wish her well, but I am afraid that Zsa Zsa will be in a wheel chair for the rest of her life.

Joan: First, the article said she has been bedridden and using a wheelchair following an automobile accident. You are absolutely right about the hip surgery. The greatest fear, I believe, is the risk of blood clots in the elderly after this kind of surgery. Finally, I do hope she recovers but sadly, her quality of life will decrease even further.

I wonder...if Obama-care was in effect...would Zsa Zsa be "too old" to have the replacement surgery?? Would it be worth it? Just a thought...

You're a total idiot.
