Gabor's blood pressure and heart rate were normal and she was resting comfortably hours after her surgery, publicist John Blanchette said. He said she'll be in the hospital for another week or two and hopefully will be home by her 94th birthday on Feb. 6. Gabor was being watched carefully, but there were no complications, doctors at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center said.
"The surgery went well, however, she is in frail health so we will continue to monitor her closely," said Dr. David Rigberg, associate professor of vascular surgery. Gabor, who had an infection in her leg for several months, was hospitalized on Jan. 2 after efforts to save her leg with antibiotics failed.
Gabor broke her hip and had replacement surgery in July, and has been hospitalized several times since for swelling in her legs and blood clots throughout her body. Publicist John Blanchette said the wounds wouldn't heal, so doctors had no choice but to operate.
