Former President George H.W. Bush fell Wednesday while at his summer home in Kennebunkport, Maine, breaking a vertebrae in his neck, but "it was not life threatening," his spokesman Jim McGrath told CNN.
Bush was taken to a hospital in nearby Portland where he is "very stable," McGrath said.
The former president was never disoriented.
"We are not expecting a long stay," McGrath said, though he added Bush would be treated with a neck brace.

So sorry about your Mom..Breaking a hip is always very dangerous, but I think the most deadly one is hitting your head but I think it also depends on the person, one elderly person can fall, break a hip and fully recover while another person dies from the same fall
I regret the urge to chime in on schadenfreude;
But this is the man whose shadow looms over the past 35+ years of the American Presidency.
No Way, No How should any man or family have this much influence in American politics.
The day cannot come soon enough that him and his family cannot again exert influence.
Prayer Ping for Papa Bush.
as outrageously funny as that truly is....it’s probably true
Prayers up.
CNN -- biased and illiterate!
” HW Bush is the epicenter of everything GOPe.
He’s a dispicable man.”
I’m with you .
I have heard that the real thing that happens is that the person “breaks their hip, and then falls”.
Rather than “falling and breaking the hip”.
IOW, the hip bone breaking causes the fall.
Do you know which it is? i do not.
I didnt plan to laugh, until I saw your remark.
Prayers up for a full healing. He seems quite frail at this point.
Prayers up. Falls are not good for nonegenarians.
My Mom (88) is going through this right now as well.
Prayers up!
You’re right, he hasn’t been getting around well for a while. I can’t believe he did that when he turned ninety.
Ouch! That must hurt.
