John Blanchette
says doctors are pleased with Gabor's recovery and she was transported by
ambulance Saturday evening back to her Bel Air mansion. Doctors at Ronald
Reagan UCLA Medical Center decided to amputate Jan. 14 when a persistent
infection wouldn't heal. She had been expected to remain in the hospital for at
least two weeks.
Blanchette says the 93-year-old "Moulin Rouge" and
"Queen of Outer Space" star will be monitored daily by nurses.
He
says Gabor is happy to be heading home. Gabor broke her hip and had replacement
surgery in July. She has been hospitalized several times for swelling in her
legs and blood clots throughout her body.
