NATIONAL BRIEFING / WASHINGTON, D.C.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton expects to have surgery soon to repair an elbow she broke in a fall in the State Department garage.
State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley told reporters that no date for the surgery had been set, but that it would probably be scheduled “in the coming week.”
He said Clinton was working from home Thursday and had made no decision about whether to go ahead with planned overseas travel, including a scheduled trip next week to Italy and Greece.
Clinton canceled her public appointments, including an appearance Thursday morning with actress Angelina Jolie at a Washington event marking World Refugee Day.
Crowley said Clinton was walking toward her official vehicle in the State Department’s basement garage Wednesday evening when she fell.
