OUCH!

WASHINGTON (CNN) - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton fractured her right elbow Wednesday during a fall, State Department officials said.

Clinton fell Wednesday afternoon on her way to the White House and was taken to George Washington University Hospital. She was treated and released, and will have surgery to repair her elbow in coming weeks.

"Secretary Clinton appreciates the professionalism and kindness she received from the medical team who treated her this evening and looks forward to resuming her full schedule soon," said Cheryl Mills, a State Department spokeswoman.


...wishing her well. That can be a big OUCH!

I fractured my radial head a few years ago; her injury sounds far worse than mine was, as I didn't have to have an operation, but yeah, broken elbows are extremely painful. I hope she's well soon!
