* Her staff says she’s OK, so let’s hope they’re right…
Illinois Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka suffered a minor fracture of her left hip after a speech this week, but she’s already had minor surgery and was “up and about,” a spokesman said Thursday.
Topinka, 68, had just finished a speech to the Illinois Public Health Association’s annual meeting at a downtown Springfield hotel Wednesday. When she was getting into an elevator, she fell and landed on her left hip, said Brad Hahn, her spokesman.
She went to Memorial Medical Center and had minor surgery that involved putting a couple of pins in her hip Wednesday night, Hahn said.
She could be out of the hospital by today. But she also has a big knot on her head from her fall.
