Gabor had an infection in her leg for several months and doctors tried using antibiotics to save the leg… the wound wouldn’t heal, making the surgery necessary.
The decision was made Friday morning to remove the actress’ right leg above the knee. Doctors at UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center determined the infection had gone into the bone.
The good news is, Zsa Zsa is reportedly “smiling and talking” — though she doesn’t know yet that her leg has been removed.
