LOS ANGELES — Doctors are treating Zsa Zsa Gabor with powerful antibiotics in hopes of avoiding amputating part of her leg.
Her publicist, John Blanchette, said Monday that the 93-year-old actress would continue receiving treatment at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center over the next couple of days. Her husband, Prince Frederic von Anhalt, brought her to the hospital Sunday night, and doctors thought they might have to amputate her right leg below the knee because of gangrene. “The lesion is apparently very deep,” Blanchette said. “They’re afraid it may be into the bone, which would not be good,”
Gabor broke her hip and had replacement surgery in July, and she has been hospitalized several times since for swelling in her legs and blood clots throughout her body. The Associated Press
