Nancy Reagan Hospitalized With Broken Pelvis

LOS ANGELES (AP) ― Nancy Reagan has been hospitalized in Los Angeles with a broken pelvis.

Reagan spokeswoman Joanne Drake says the 87-year-old former first lady fell at her home last week and decided Monday to get checked out at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center.

Doctors determined she had a fractured pelvis.

Drake says Mrs. Reagan "Mrs Reagan is in good spirits, especially comforted to be receiving care from talented doctors in a world-class hospital named in honor of her late husband."

Her recovery is expected to take six to eight weeks.

Drake says Mrs. Reagan apparently got up in middle of the night at her Bel-Air home and fell after twisting on her leg. Pain persisted and she decided to go to the hospital.
