Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was hospitalized in Luxembourg on Friday after she fractured her hip in a fall, according to a report., her office said in a statement.
Pelosi, 84, was traveling with the congressional delegation for the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge – the last major German offensive during WWII – when she fell.

I'm grateful to her, but she's too old and corporate it's time for her to let others lead.

Do you think she'll receive a Catholic funeral/burial?
A broken hip is usually the beginning of the end?

Falls in general are, but I think she'll have more attentive care than us non-corporates.

An old person breaking a hip is serious business. Statistically, it means a lot.
One in three adults aged 50 and over dies within 12 months of suffering a hip fracture. Older adults have a five-to-eight times higher risk of dying within the first three months of a hip fracture compared to those without a hip fracture. This increased risk of death remains for almost ten years.

Correlation is not causation, though, especially with that 10-year number.
