(CNN) — Nancy Reagan, wife of the late President Ronald Reagan, was hospitalized Tuesday after suffering a broken pelvis, according to spokeswoman Joanne Drake.

Reagan, 87, is in the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, Drake said in a written statement.

The former first lady fell last week at her home, Drake said, but admitted herself to the hospital only after experiencing “persistent pain.” Tests revealed a fractured pelvis and sacrum — the triangular bone within the pelvis.

Reagan will remain hospitalized for a few days until “doctors are satisfied with her progress,” Drake said. Her anticipated recovery time is six to eight weeks, including physical therapy and a modified schedule.



Wow, that is some tough broad. She has been living with it since last week and admitted herself because of the persistent pain. I would imagine that would be incredibly painful. While I don't like your politics, get well soon.

1. As much as I dislike the woman personally I wish her well.

May she have a speedy recovery.

2. To her credit...

she didn't like either of the Bushes, especially "w"... and absolutely (according to reports) despises John McCain.

4. And she didn't like McCain dumping his 1st wife.

BTW, is a broken pelvis not as bad as a broken hip for someone her age?

3. She's healed some of her poisonous politics

since she's seen a horrible disease firsthand.

The problem with the broken pelvis is that you can still walk and you're tempted to think you just pulled a big muscle or something. Most people crack within the first couple of days, though, and come to the hospital. To last longer than that is remarkable.

I hope pain control and rehab will hurry her healing.

What I like about Nancy R ...
