Sir Michael Palin unable to walk without assistance after suffering accident at home

Sir Michael Palin says he is still unable to walk unaided after a fall at home, relying on a Zimmer frame to get around. The 83-year-old Monty Python star had to withdraw from a promotional book tour last month after breaking three ribs and fracturing his pelvis. In a new update to fans posted with a photo of his walking aid, he said his recovery remains ongoing and that he still “can’t walk without a Zimmer” exactly a month after the accident. Palin also described his slip as happening in the family bathroom at around 3:30 a.m., and added that he’s “probably doomed” to play the character-like role for a few more weeks. He indicated he will focus on reading, television, and suggests catching up on shows instead of traveling.
