Exactly, I’ve known of too many old people who broke a hip or other bones who never recovered. I highly doubt she will be back on the court.
My uncle (a staunch Conservative) used to be Ruth’s caddy back in his younger days.
Although her views were not aligned with his, he spoke very highly of her and said she was a wonderful person.
One of the ways that I know that I am on the correct side of the political spectrum is when I can log on to FR and find other people here who also disagree with RGs viewpoints but are still able to wish her a quick recovery like anyone should to any 85 year old who falls.
I hope she takes this opprotunity to step down and enjoy the time she has left.
The left will prob her up like Weekend at Bernies.
broken hips are the worst thing for the elderly, because the subsequent increase in being sedentary puts them into a downward spiral. Being active is the last best way to stave off the reaper when your body is trying to degenerate on you so you don’t want to end up bed-ridden for weeks.
Breaking ribs is bad too though. Very painful. Hard to do anything at first.
Definitely a pneumonia risk.
RBG can text in her opinions, as did John McCain. NBD.
