Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi is on the mend from surgery after breaking her hip in a fall during an event in Luxembourg.
The 84-year-old lawmaker is recovering at a U.S. military base in Germany, her office confirmed.
Pelosi thanked the staff at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center and the hospital in Luxembourg where she was treated for “their excellent care and kindness.”
She was in Europe with a bipartisan congressional delegation to mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge in World War II.
Pelosi stumbled while at an event and fractured her hip, according to people familiar with her injury who were not authorized to publicly discuss the matter and spoke on condition of anonymity.
She reportedly fell while descending a marble staircase at the Grand Ducal Palace, The New York Times reported on Friday.
Among those on the visit was Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), who posted on social media Friday that he was “praying for a speedy recovery” for Pelosi.
The two lawmakers were captured holding hands in a group photo that day at the U.S. Embassy in Luxembourg.
Pelosi’s spokesperson said she is no longer able to attend the remainder of the ceremonies but continues to work.
“Speaker Pelosi is enjoying the overwhelming outpouring of prayers and well wishes,” her office’s Saturday update read, “and is ever determined to ensure access to quality health care for all Americans.”
Pelosi was first elected in 1987. She served as speaker twice, stepped down from her leadership post two years ago but remained in Congress and was reelected to represent her San Francisco district in November.
