Nancy Pelosi, a former House Speaker and current California Democrat, recently underwent a hip replacement surgery at a U.S. military hospital in Germany. The surgery took place on Saturday, after Pelosi had a fall while attending an event in Luxembourg with other members of Congress.
According to Ian Krager, a spokesperson for Pelosi, the 84-year-old is already on the road to recovery and doing well. She expressed gratitude to the staff at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center and the hospital in Luxembourg for their exceptional care and kindness.
Pelosi was in Europe as part of a bipartisan congressional delegation to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge in World War II. Unfortunately, she tripped and fell during one of the events, resulting in a fractured hip. Sources familiar with her injury, who were not authorized to speak publicly, shared this information on condition of anonymity.
One of the members of the delegation, Rep. Michael McCaul from Texas, took to social media to wish Pelosi a speedy recovery. He also shared a heartwarming photo of the two lawmakers holding hands at the U.S. Embassy in Luxembourg.
Pelosi has been a member of Congress since 1987 and has served as speaker twice. Although she stepped down from her leadership position two years ago, she continues to represent her district in San Francisco and was reelected in November.
