Sensenbrenner recovering from hip surgery
U.S. Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, R-Menomonee Falls, is recovering from hip surgery after falling, his office said.
Sensenbrenner, 69, was greeting constituents at an event in Butler yesterday when his foot caught on wires, he tripped and fell. He broke two bones, one near his elbow and the other at the hip socket. He had orthopaedic hip surgery today, and his office said he is doing well and resting comfortably at Froedtert Hospital.
He and his wife, Cheryl, will not be able to attend the Republican National Convention.
"He will now embark on recovery and looks forward to returning to his congressional duties as soon as possible," his office said.
