Gifford hospitalized for fracture

Kathie Lee Gifford, 70, is recovering at home after a week-long hospitalization due to a fractured pelvis, which she sustained while recovering from hip replacement surgery. In interviews, she shared that moving 300 books during a book signing weakened her body, leading to her fall as she rushed to greet a friend, resulting in a fracture more painful than her previous surgery. Gifford emphasized the importance of pacing herself, acknowledging that recovery can take longer than it feels, and described the incident as a humbling reminder of the changes that come with aging. She noted, 'You think you know your body, and the next thing you know, your body changes when you get older.' Gifford plans to take it easy and enjoy life at her farm once she is fully healed, reflecting on the need to slow down and appreciate her surroundings. Her latest book is titled 'Herod and Mary: The True Story of the Tyrant King and the Mother of the Risen Savior.'
