Gov. Jim Gibbons
Sun Coverage
CARSON CITY – Gov. Jim Gibbons is still in the hospital recovering from pelvis surgery and there is no word when he will be released.
Dan Burns, communications director for Gibbons, said the governor is undergoing “limited therapy” in Renown Regional Medical Center in Reno.
When he is released, Gibbons is expected to do his rehabilitation at the governor’s mansion in Carson City, which is ADA-certified.
“Mobility will be a challenge,” Burns said. The doctors will tell him whether he has to be in a wheelchair, on a cane or crutches as he goes through his rehabilitation.
His senior staff is meeting with him daily and briefing him, Burns said.
Gibbons, 65, was thrown from a horse near Pyramid Lake last Tuesday and his pelvis was broken in two places. Burns said the physicians used at least four large screws to repair the damage.
I would imagine he's got himself some mighty fine hospitalization insurance - much better than most of us peons.
i wonder if the screws they used in monkey boy's pelvis...
where the loose ones that are always floating around his head!!!
ohhh...
thank you...
thank you...
i'll be here all week...
please tip your waitress...
Good luck to Governor Gibbons in his recovery. Sounds like he was seriously injured and faces a difficult recovery. He deserves our compassion during this painful period.
Did the Gov. Gibbons break his pelvis or his hip? I'm not sure what kind of cast is required for a pelvic fracture, but I know from personal experience about a hip fracture. I was out of work for six weeks and then returned on very light duty. I wouldn't vote for Gov. Gibbons for dog catcher, but I do wish him well and hope he has a speedy recovery. I would not wish a hip fracture on my worst enemy.
Now that Gov. Gibbons has slowed down a bit, its time for Mr Jim to catch up on all those pesky little things that never quite got finished up.
Like sending Nevada Mine Safety and Training Section Inspectors to Round Mountain Gold Corp. to investigate the formal complaint that YOU Gov. Gibbons helped cover-up.

Who can install uncertified electrical equipment in breach of Caterpillars sellers agreement?
Gov Gibbons, is it lawful for a mining company to manufacture false records and cover-up safety violations? Mr Jim do you know the answer?
Gov Gibbons, is it lawful to terminate a mine employee for removing defective equipment( before returning Equipment back to work) that caused an electrical fire and filled a 300 ton haul truck cab operating on haul roads with smoke? Better ask NV MSATS Safety Manager II and than get a real answer from a qualified professional.
