WASHINGTON _ Rep. Walter Jones, who has not been able to vote in Congress since September due to an undisclosed illness, suffered a broken hip after a fall at his home in Farmville, N.C., on Monday.
Jones, who turns 76 in February, underwent successful surgery at Vidant Medical Center in Greenville on Tuesday, according to his congressional office.
"The congressman has started the rehabilitation process and is grateful to all involved for the care he's received," his office said in a statement.
