We know what the reported injury was, and it’s not uncommon for someone in their 80s. It’s also a serious injury: She tripped, fell down some steps, and fractured her hip (via NYT) [emphasis mine]:
"
Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi was hospitalized on Friday after being injured while traveling abroad on a bipartisan congressional delegation to Luxembourg, a spokesman said on Friday.
Ms. Pelosi, 84, “sustained an injury during an official engagement,” the spokesman, Ian Krager, said in a brief statement that provided no details on the nature of the injury or how it occurred. He said she was admitted to a hospital for evaluation.
Ms. Pelosi tripped going down marble stairs at the Grand Ducal Palace and took a hard fall, according to a person familiar with the incident who was not authorized to comment and spoke on condition of anonymity.
People close to Ms. Pelosi in California and Washington, D.C., speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak for her, said the former speaker fractured her hip when she fell. They said doctors were confident the damage could be repaired with a routine operation, but it was not yet clear whether that would be done in Luxembourg or in the United States.

Gosh. A fractured hip is bad.
OH man the old bat dementia will really come to the fore now!!!
Here or there...I'm sure they recommend it being done there...along with therapy...
Gee...she might miss the inaugeration...at least the swearing in of the new Congress...that would be sweet.
,,, had to be marble stairs. She’ll be able to pay the bill from her Luxembourg bank account.
I heard she landed with a thump.
Hmmmmm. 84, fractured hip. Care flight enroute? Surely she’s not getting the same treatment as the peons....
In this case, "bad" is a matter of perspective.
There is no such thing as a routine operation at age 84...especially for a female.
Just like what happened to my Mother which was how we were finally able to take her car away. Many drivers on the road were probably saved from being side swiped.
Maybe the keys to Congress need to taken away from Nancy?
fractured hip is same as broken hip. so i guess question is will she need hip replacement.
She was probably shit-faced and didn’t feel a thing.
Glue factory
She’s House not Senate.
Kinda old to be traveling. I’m sure she’s been everywhere.
🤔😊
Wouldn’t have happened had she stayed at the Motel 6 like ordinary folk
Marble Stairs-1, Pelosi-0
” bipartisan congressional delegation to Luxembourg”
Our tax money.
“Gosh. A fractured hip is bad.”
May it lead to the old person’s friend...pneumonia.
