Kathie Lee Gifford hospitalized with broken pelvis after hip replacement

Kathie Lee Gifford has been hospitalized after tripping, falling and breaking her pelvis in two places. The “Live With Regis and Kathie Lee” alum told People on Tuesday that she tripped and fell after her recent hip-replacement surgery and that she was hospitalized for more than a week for physical therapy. Gifford, 70, was injured while hurrying to the door and “it didn’t take much, because I was weak in that spot.” “The next thing you know, I am back in the hospital with a fractured pelvis, the front and the back. Try smelling them.’” The former “Today” show co-host, who left the morning show in 2019, returned to Studio 1A earlier this month to promote “Herod and Mary,” the first book she co-authored in the biblical “Ancient Evil, Living Hope” series. “I’ve spent the last fifteen years of my life fascinated and completely enthralled by this tale and I’m so honored to bring it to you along with my friend and co-author, the brilliant Dr. Bryan Litfin,” the Daytime Emmy Award winner wrote on Instagram last month.
