Nancy Reagan is in the hospital after suffering a broken pelvis, the Associated Press reported Wednesday.

The widow of former United States President Ronald Reagan fell at her home last week. After persistent pain, she finally decided to seek medical attention last night at a hospital in Los Angeles. Mrs. Reagan, 87, reportedly woke in the middle of the night in her Bel-Air, Calif. home, twisted her leg and fell.

Reagan suffered a similar spill at her home in February, but did not break or fracture her hip, which doctors originally feared.

well, she certainly gave us the greatest ‘non-violent’—‘victimless’ prison population in the entire world—-good work Nancy—-hope you’re proud—-and i hope you make it long enough to understand your fascist stance has caused such damage—-and before you enter Heaven as a ‘soy-burger-flipper’, i truly hope you read the Harvard declaration of ‘Marijuana—the 21st Century Penicillin’—-and for those who fall for ‘Big Pharma’ studies saying otherwise? how numb may ya get—-a weed, anyone may grow? no $$$ to them. so ya think ya may believe them? think about it—-no one may stop the flow of ‘illegal’ pot importation—-like prohibition, such efforts simply create Huge Cartels, and your $$$ goes to them—-and crime goes up—-i quit years ago, yet still am hooked on cigs—-a true killer—-not one, even 30-year study has linked weed to disease, rather the opposite—- Nancy ‘invented’ the ‘just say no’ deal—-i don’t hate her, and hope she endures no undo suffering, but explain that to her victims—-millions rotting in cells—-over what?

My mother-in-law fell and broke her pelvis when she was 83, a very painful injury. It was a total game changer, she was independent up until then, living on her own, driving….. after that it was downhill all the way. She gave up her license, her apartment and her independence. I wish Nancy Regan the best, but fear, at her age, the end will be near.

I’ve always thought Nancy Reagan a class act. I pray for her speedy recovery.

I wish for Nancy all the best. She is a tough old lady. This setback does not sound good. But she can afford the best of care. God Bless Her

Wishing Nancy all the best and a speedy recovery. I fell two weeks before spring last year (set me back 7,000$ in physical recovery, which I’m still paying on), and was a nightmare to finally get to the point I could walk without pain and suffering from the injuries I endured.

Thankfully she doesn’t have to worry about medical costs, but pain and suffering to any person does still touch my heart and I wouldn’t wish it on any person.

Best Wishes.
