Zsa Zsa Gabor Awakens from Coma

By Kiki Von Glinow Posted May 23rd 2011 03:30PM

After going into a coma following an emergency stomach surgery, Zsa Zsa Gabor awoke late last week with her husband, Prince von Anhalt, at her side. Although the 94-year-old actress is on the mend, she is still having difficulty speaking and has been placed on a feeding tube.

"She's the only think I have, if she dies I don't have anybody else to live for," von Anhalt told OnTheRedCarpet.com. "She does not want to be left alone. I sleep in a couch with my feet dangling but that's ok, we made promises that we would take care of each other until the end. I know she would do the same for me."

As of last Friday, it was reported that Gabor may be heading home to continue her recovery early this week. But the legendary actress would still require intensive home care. According to von Anhalt, she can only say four words: "yes, no, hurts me, and darling."

A complication with a feeding tube due to an emergency stomach surgery is reported to have brought on the coma. But even with her series of health problems -- she has battled pneumonia, suffered a partial stroke and had one leg amputated in January due to infection -- von Anhalt says that it's her strong heart that keeps her going.

"She's think only think I have"
Lord, journalism is lazy these days.

Most women would rather be a "think" than a thing...

That has nothing to do with von Anhalt's accent. If it is, then PopEater was being condescending by impersonating him. No, it was PopEater's horrendously bad proofreading ability. Another article written by them today, quoting Patricia Heaton, said: "God will open any doors he wants to open and if he closes doors that's fine to". They used "to" instead of "too". I've been keeping a list of tons of mistakes these guys make and I'm going to email them the list. It's sad how lazy they are. I've even offered my services as a proofreader, but I never heard back from them.

Hire some proofreaders. "She is the only THINK I have?" Sheesh.

By MJO

It's probably correct because he speaks with a German accent. ;-)

"She's the only THINK I have,"

You're right, Prince. That's why you won't let the poor woman go to her eternal rest.

She asked if HOPPING With the Stars has called yet.

That is not even funny! You are talking about a 94 year old woman. How would you feel if it were your mother or grandmother? Would that joke still be funny then? Have some respect!!!

By Skeeter

Maybe they were trying to put his accent to paper....Just a thought!

By mannequin

Oh the poor dear. If God would only see to take her peacefully. Seems like such a long road for her.

By Queeny

Don't allow this person in my hospital room. It's chilling to hear someone sugguest that another be put out of their misery.

By Bossy

I love Zsa Zsa... I hope she keeps pulling through if thats what she wants , She may just out live him who knows?.. Death is final so keep fighting for life Zsa Zsa! wish i could as tough as her.

By fiona

One of her last TV appearances, as I recall, was with Letterman back in '94. The two of them would ride around town, making random stops at burger joints, etc. to get a reaction. It was a hoot. I just found the clip on YouTube...David Letterman Takes Zsa Zsa Out For Fast Food. He hasn't gotten that many laughs in years!

By Elle

I'm sorry to nitpick but "yes no, hurts me and darling" is technically FIVE words. So she can say four THINGS, but a total of five WORDS.

And of course the "she's the only think I have" but everyone else has already made that point.

On another note, there's something about Prince von Anhalt that doesn't sit right with me for some reason.
