For those of you that do not know, Pinup icon and queen Bettie Page has been hospitalized since December 2007. She orginally went in due to pneumonia, but has suffered other ailments as well since. She had either bladder or kidney infection triggered by the medication(I can't remember which) and now to top it off, she is suffering from some mental illnesses. She has been Hospitalized since December. I don't know, but she is 84, going to be 85 in April, and with age like hers comes possible dementia, alzheimer's, memory loss, and or hallucinations. I heard from a very reliable source that although she is stable, she isn't how she was prior to the hospitalization in December. If I find out any more, I'll update this thread. If you would like to send Bettie a get well soon card, you can actually send one through her managing company.

I hear they will deliver the mail to her, but DO NOT send flowers, as I don't know how frequent the agency delivers mail to her at the Hospital.
