Status Update: June 19, 2009

About the Author: Ian Kelly serves as the State Department Spokesman.

Thank you all for your get-well wishes to Secretary Clinton. The Secretary is currently working from home and resting comfortably. Please see the statement below from Cheryl D. Mills, the State Department’s Counselor and Chief of Staff that we released last night. As the statement notes, the Secretary will have surgery in the coming days. Again, we thank you for your concern, and we’ll keep you updated.

Statement of Cheryl D. Mills, Counselor and Chief of Staff, State Department

On the way to the White House late this afternoon, Secretary Clinton fell and suffered a right elbow fracture. She was treated at The George Washington University Hospital before heading home. She will undergo surgery to repair her elbow in the upcoming week. 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.

Dear Hillary,

Watched your Town Hall today, and you looked so wonderful! It's good to see you getting better. I hope the pain is beginning to subside. D.N. in New York says he/she worked his/her heart out for you. Me too, and I would do it again in a NY/NJ minute! Ha! My code word to enter this is "heart52" -You are always in our hearts!

Continued prayers for recovery,

Dear Hillary,

You are looking so lovely today! Oh it's good to see you in front of the cameras again!

I know you are working very hard, and I just want to wish you continued recovery and success in the challenges we are facing in the world. You are a spectacular Secretary of State, you know! The best I ever have seen. Henry Cabot Lodge is the first one I remember, or maybe Dean Acheson, but only his name.

Anyway, it's wonderful to see you looking so well. I always pray for you.

Please pass this on to Hillary. Please take care of yourself remember you and I are baby boomers and we now how to listen to our bodies. Your so busy these day but take some time to rest and relax with the Family. Ya I know Chelsea is grown but use the cell and check on her. I guess seeing Michael Jackson at 50 leave us, I'm being more careful. I watched that kid grow up as I did with my kids. Hillary just take good care of yourself your really important to me and ok the U.S. Thanks for letting me speak up. I promise I want go off again but just my thoughts. Working on your campaign I met so many new friends all over the U.S. thanks to you. So I just had to speak up.

Dearest Hillary,

Sending continued wishes for a complete recovery and prayers for your safety and good health. You are very precious to us!

Please remember that you have to be careful after anesthesia! It takes a long time to wear off. Please do not push yourself too hard.

As you can see from everybody's notes, you are America's Sweetheart. We love you. Whether you go out into the wide world or the world comes here to you, you are our Valentine to the world. I don't know whether you can see this because I cannot preview here, so I don't know whether or not the code works, but here's something from Valentine's Day. It's true all year.

Caution when reading this message, talks about a new safety approach to vehicles

Watching these plane accidents, train collisions people perishing and Once again I have to keep trying to stress the point, change needs to happen. The greatest people and minds in the country can design planes to fly around the world but when it comes to our safety, what happens? The black box is the one recovered. You might find out the signalling for the train could be in another state.

Safety should be at the top of the list for anyone flying, driving, sailing, on a train or even in a helicopter.

When tradegy strikes people usually don't take an interest until they found out it could be one of their loved ones, on that plane or on that train.

I have been preaching up a storm trying to get the right people to see my vision of the next generation safety tools for all Aircraft, helicopters, planes, Jets, Trains, Ships and even boats.

Stating a fact...We all know that people who ride motor cycles have a safer chance with a helmet on. It protects the head of the person.

My idea is using that same material on protecting the entire body of person when inside any of the vehicles mentioned, only I call this new safety device "Emergency Escape Pod's" the arguments I hear from people discussed, it would weight the plane down, or burn more fuel.

Well let me put it this way who cares...When we purchase a ticket to ride on anything, we want to get their safe and sound. If the plane or helicopter is heavier, okay but atleast you have an emergency POD that will get you out safe. Even with the ejection seats on a fighter jet is not perfect. We have to design this EE POD so that YES even a fighter Pilot can use this in the cockpit and allow them to evacuate safe. So when there is talk about high speed trains in the United States consider my idea of the Emergency Escape Pod's be added to protect the consumer and bring in better safety standards. Sure the EE POD might look like something from the 25th Century but the goal is having a device that will save your life in an emergency.

Gobless and hope the right people see this message

It's awful to know that M'am Hillary slipped & fractured her elbow. Wish her a speedy recovery!! Secretary Clinton has a critically important portfolio of foreign affairs.

She might be immersed in her thoughts of the workload in terms of swapping mindsets with respect to the number of nations & countries., Also since it's the right hand elbow, she is necessitated in her office as to find a soul help to carry on her official acts.
It's good that the harm didn't carry up on other physical parts!! And also thanx to almighty that the injury didn't go out of the Doctors' scope.
Such things happen.

Hi Hillary and family,
I am sorry that you have injured yourself so painfully. It had to be your right elbow, right? Thank you for making this email source available for us. I couldn't find one that worked for you, until I saw this one on PUMAPAC blog. Getting through security for cards or other things, makes people pause in sending things, I think. You are dearly loved by your 18 million plus. I am also proud of the work you are trying to do. Don't try to be too brave. Take your time to heal slowly. Hopefully, you will only have to do this once.

Secretary Clinton - Rest as much as you can (rest) for your upcoming surgery. Post-surgery, take things slowly and ask for help, when and where you did it. This heartfelt advice comes from a person with a physical disability, and underwent numerous surgeries from age 2 to 39. I'm 62 years old, retired for almost 3 years, from working 35 years for a service agency for the disabled in NYC and know Mrs. Somoza and the girls. Be well and get well.

Hillary, honey, PLEEEAZZZZEEE! Be CAREFUL with our Secretary of State parts! You are very precious to us! Please do not push yourself too hard right now. Healing has to be given its time. I am lighting candles and praying for you!

Let people take care of you right now. You deserve some pampering for all the hard work you do and for putting yourself out there in the world so smartly and attractively in the world. The bones have to mend. The world will still be out here when you are whole again.

(Tell Bill to cook you cheesy things - for calcium -and take vitamin D and calcium - you need 1200 mgs a day, I found out. I was only taking one pill - we need TWO!)

Feel better and get well, sweet Hillary!

Take care, Mme Secretary. The world needs you healthy and whole. Put your feet up and rest now. And stop reading your Blackberry while you walk. That's clearly a dangerous thing to do.

Wishing you a speedy recovery,

Regency from TX.

Dear Madame Secretary,

I have been a fan of yours since your epic run for The Presidential Nomination. I know you will not let something like an elbow fracture slow you down. I hope you have a swift recovery and tell the republicans to stop leaving banana peels in democractic walkways. They can slow you down but they can not stop you!

Best Wishes,

Karen E. Petersen

Dear Madame Secretary Clinton,

Wishing you a speedy recovery from your elbow surgery. I fractured my elbow once while training for a triathlon during my Army career. I was in a sling for 6 weeks. No fun. But it is temporary and I hope you will take your physical therapy seriously. As your supporter, I know your work is always superior, but take care of your body too.

Wishing you all the best,

Tanya
