Zsa Zsa Gabor Refuses Leg Amputation Surgery

By Tracey Harrington McCoy Posted Mar 3rd 2011 09:50PM

After being rushed to the hospital on Wednesday when blood flow to her left leg stopped, Zsa Zsa Gabor declined surgery to amputate the leg, the Associated Press reports. Her publicist, John Blanchette, confirmed that the actress will be released from the hospital on Friday.

The Hungarian-American socialite and actress has been ailing since summer 2010. Her right leg was amputated in January because of gangrene, and she was hospitalized last month for high fever, fluid in her lungs and an infection.

Gabor's husband, Prince Frederic von Anhalt, called ambulances to their Beverly Hills home Wednesday because the 94-year-old former actress was "having issues regarding the blood flow to her left leg." He later told reporters that she has another leg infection.

On Thursday, Von Anhalt said the actress is currently on medication but only has a "50-50 chance" of surviving the next year without surgery.

Gabor has been known for decades for pioneering the act of being "famous merely for being famous," as she's often described. Her best-known role was in 1952's 'Moulin Rouge.'

m smith, you are a real jerk, God didn't do this to her. You have your head up your arse and need to get a life. JA you are the biggest pig in the world and need to have your pee pee cut off. Get a life Terry, you have the same problem as M. Smith. You sad pathetic people who do nothing but wait for something mean to say about people you don't know should be executed. God forgive me, but you are arzes. and you know what that means.

At 94 years old, let this poor thing do as she wishes. It is sad that she is so frail and being in the condition she is in the amputation would probably kill her anyway. Let her go home and let her rest east and die in peace. Her husband is an idiot and it is shameful that he is as thoughtless as he is.

"t" "You sad pathetic people who do nothing but wait for something mean to say about people you don't know should be executed."

Now THAT'S a pretty mean thing to say about people you don't know! (BTW, I pretty much agree with you)

I also pray for Zsa Zsa Gabor that they amputate her head!

By J A

I hope she lives long enough so I gat have sex with her before she dies. If I don't make it in time - well - at least I will have a good time with her corpse.

By Carmen R. Evans

That was harsh and uncalled for!! You should be more respectful of other people.

By LARRY

mveeh5150, Your brain has allready been amputate

By Val

Zsa Zsa (btw that's a Hungarian nick name for Susan)has been through a lot. I don't blame her for not wanting another amputation. I'll keep her in my prayers too. She may surprise the doctors and the infection may heal with the help of medication.

You should never post lies about any subject you do not honestly know the answer of You are wrong on both accounts. Maybe you were a poor student at one time.Her true Hungarian name which is after an old Hungarian Actress is Sari & her nickname if she used it but doesn't, is Lily. Case closed, liar !

By Leila

I think rose just hit puberty.

By Bella T.

Rose doesn't know what she's talking about or she'd keep her mouth shut. Hungarians do use that nick name for Susan. Just ask my aunts.

Thank you Leila. Unless Rose is from Hungary and speaks the language, she shouldn't be contradicting anyone. My father was a Hungarian and claims he met them when they first came to America.

Rose needs to read this
