Looks like Pelosi's recent injury in Europe was a broken hip.

I'll skip the hooray's and whooping and hollering we will soon hear. I don't like this lady's politics one little bit. I despise them actually. I guess I actually despise her personally as well. However, it is sad that this is probably the beginning of the end for her. When someone of her age falls and breaks a hip, they often times don't live more than six months. It's not that the broken hip causes quick death. It's more like falling and breaking a hip appears to be a symptom of something else, or some general decline, that will cause death within a few months. That's just the way it seems to go quite often. I doubt that she will ever return to Congress as a member, but she might visit and wave once or twice.
 
Fractured hips are no laughing matter, even for evil drunks like her. I do wish her a good recovery. That said:

Afraid she Won't be there Jan 20th...!!! ;)
 
I'll be honest, I'm two ways about this news. First off the person within me hopes for a speedy recovery with no side effects. I live with the worry that my Step Father will fall one day soon & break is hip or something even worse. Then there's the patriotic American within me & that person wants her & her crones to die horrible deaths very, very soon. That's because I believe them to be the greatest threat to our country. I believe that the enemy within will be the end of America, not those enemies on foreign shores. And the leadership of the democrat party are those enemies.
 
I mentioned this to my aunt today. Her first question was, “Was she drunk?” Her drinking certainly brings that into question. At her age loss of strength could cause her to have trouble with steps. Another question related to her age is, did she fall and break her hip or did she fall because her hip broke. Haertig is right, she probably has a poor prognosis.

...Well we can hope, can't we? :rolleyes:
The devil always needs more help to keep the fires stoked 'down there' :).
Knowing the history of the old witches of my past experience, @Haertig speaks the truth.

How Does Alcohol Affect Your Bones?​

Osteoporosis is a bone disease of decreased bone strength and an increased risk for bone fractures. Over time, heavy alcohol consumption can interfere with your body's ability to grow new bones and replace skeletal tissues. This increases the risk of bone fractures and osteoporosisas it reduces bone density.1


Research shows that alcohol consumption, particularly in high amounts, negatively impacts bones at all ages. However, it is especially harmful to younger bones that are still growing. This is because alcohol reduces peak bone mass, which can result in weaker adult bones than there would be otherwise.2


Defining Alcohol Consumption Levels​

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) define the categories of alcohol consumption habits as follows:3
  • Moderate drinking indicates two drinks per day or fewer for men and one drink per day or fewer for women.
  • Binge drinking is a pattern that raises blood alcohol concentration (BAC) to 0.08% or higher. For many adults, this correlates to five or more drinks for men and four or more for women within two hours.
  • Heavy drinking generally means more than four drinks per day, or 14 drinks per week for men and more than three drinks per day, or seven drinks per week for women. This may also mean binge drinking for five or more days within a month.
Your bones are a major storage center for calcium and other minerals. Calcium is absorbed from food into the small intestines, and the kidneys are responsible for getting rid of excess calcium in the body.

The right amount of calcium in your bloodstream is necessary for nerves and muscles to function properly. When calcium balance is off, the body uses vitamins, hormones, and other compounds to correct the imbalance. However, alcohol consumption interferes with the body's ability to do these things as intended.

In addition to interrupting these mechanisms, alcohol may eventually interfere with the immune system in ways that affect bone health.4

Interestingly, refraining from alcohol has been shown to improve markers of bone density within two months.5

I have to admit that I have rolled my eyes at a few of your posts. That is hardly unique and I have never been mad at you. A word to the wise, don’t let anything posted on the net get to you.
