Yowch! A friend of mine fractured her elbow when she slipped on a wet floor. Required LOTS of physical therapy because she damaged the “funny bone” nerve.

I feel for her pain.
Hope she did not fall from a WH tree while trying to remove
those old Intern panties still stuck in the branches.

I am pleasantly surprised by how posters put aside their political feelings to show sympathy There are plenty of decent folks on FR -- I've seen prayers for recovery go up for a variety of political opponents, including really extreme cases like Ted Kennedy.
Besides, there are many of us who would have much rather seen Hillary in the WH than the current occupant. She has earned a certain grudging respect.

I’m sorry that she got hurt.
I would be more sorry if she had to deal with this under hillarycare or obama care.
Someone needs to pull out those charts and she if it is cost effective to treat a broken elbow at her age.

me? i’m not so nice. i still remember the result of dems in the WH during the 90s... and who was responsible.
the best i can muster is:
i hope she recovers fully before returning to work, i understand it can take quite a long time.

Jesus promised salvation through belief in him. Not a new
set of teeth or a healed arm.
Pray for her soul that she may see the light.
That’s my take.

Sorry to hear the old bird hurt herself and hope she mends quickly
quite the coincidence, occuring on the heels of her criticism of Zero for muzzling her from commenting on the Iranian elections - so who’s taking her place while she’s in painkiller land?

I hope that she’s in tremendous pain and has to wait at least a year to see some Russian Doctor to get on a 2 year waiting list to be even considered for rationed Obamacare! That’s what they have in store for us, and that’s what I wish for her. I make no apologies.

yuck. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Elbow fractures don’t heal well, especially for a mid-60’s woman. ?Osteoporosis?
There’s nothing like this sort of experience to educate her on healthcare issues, however.

An elbow injury requires a cast initially to immobilize the broken joint and then surgery to implant a screw and a wire to hold the bones in place correctly until they heal. After wearing a cast after surgery, there are months of painful physical therapy to regain use of the arm. Learning to eat again is a challenge. Most people just live with the implants and from personal experience, its the worst kind of injury.

This happened to a relative. I can't believe the pity one liners, they are getting sicking, because you and I know this injury takes you out of commission for quite a while and she may never be the same if the replace the joint with a replacement joint.
I am no doctor, but IMHO her political career maybe over if it is severe.

She will be fine. It could have been worse.
She could have injured it while drunk at Greg Norman's house trying to lift a half naked woman over her shoulder, and then slipped and blew her knee out.
