Governor Kay Ivey on Thursday morning underwent a successful procedure for her fractured right shoulder at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB).
In a statement, Ivey’s press secretary said, “Governor Ivey’s shoulder procedure has been completed and went off without a hitch.”
“She is in high spirits and is doing well as she begins her recovery,” Gina Maiola continued. “The governor extends her appreciation to the people of Alabama for their continued support and prayers and looks forward to getting back to work on their behalf.”
Ivey delivered the State of the State with her right arm in a sling on Tuesday. She fractured her shoulder last week after tripping over Alabama’s “first dog,” Missy.
