Zsa Zsa Gabor doing well after surgery

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Zsa Zsa Gabor (photo) was doing well after surgery to amputate her right leg — an operation that doctors said was necessary to save her life, her publicist said Friday.

Gabor’s blood pressure and heart rate were normal and she was resting comfortably hours after her surgery, publicist John Blanchette said. He said she’ll be in the hospital for another week or two and hopefully will be home by her 94th birthday on Feb. 6.

Gabor was being watched carefully, but there were no complications, doctors at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center said.

“The surgery today went well, however, she is in frail health so we will continue to monitor her closely,” said Dr. David Rigberg, associate professor of vascular surgery.

Gabor, who had an infection in her leg for several months, was hospitalized on Jan. 2 after efforts to save her leg with antibiotics failed.
