Kathie Lee Gifford Hospitalized After Surgery, What Happened?
Just after publicly announcing she had hip replacement surgery, entertainer Kathie Lee Gifford is in the hospital once again.
The former Today hostess is getting older, but she still has a long list of goals she wants to accomplish. Now that her new book is out, she has many tasks on her plate.
But after suffering another injury, she may need to seriously think about stepping back. What caused Kathie Lee Gifford to have another stay in the hospital?
Kathie Lee Gifford Suffered A Painful Pelvic Fracture
As TV Shows Ace previously shared, Kathie Lee Gifford needed hip surgery because of her active lifestyle. Sadly, it seems that she pushed her limits too far once again. Now, she has a fractured pelvis too.
In a new interview with PEOPLE, the 70-year-old entertainer said she was in the hospital for over a week. She tried to move 300 books by herself and “weakened [her] body.”
“It’s my own fault,” she confessed. The fractured pelvis happened when she hurried to answer her front door and tripped.
“It didn’t take much, because I was weak in that spot,” Kathie Lee admitted. “And the next thing you know, I am back in the hospital with a fractured pelvis, the front and the back. That’s more painful than anything I went through with the hip. The pelvis is unbelievably painful. But anyway, here I am.”

She told PEOPLE the experience “humbled” her and truly made her realize she needed to slow down.
“You think you know your body and the next thing you know, your body changes when you get older,” the former Today anchor added. “And as much as I don’t wanna think about it, I am.”
The Entertainer Feels Like She’s Missing Out On Summer
As summer continues, Kathie Lee Gifford admitted she’s a little sad that she’s missing out on her favorite seasonal activities.
“It’s summer for everybody but me,” Kathie Lee mournfully shared in the interview. “But it’s OK. I’m going to get out to my little farm one of these days and stick my feet in my salt pool. The Lord is telling me it’s time to slow down. I’ve been running my whole life. The Lord is telling me, ‘You’ve planted a gazillion roses. Try smelling them.'”
While it may take some time for her to fully heal, she’s delighted about the release of her new book.
