 "The lesion is apparently very deep. They're afraid it may be into the bone, which would not be good," Blanchette said . "Before taking that drastic measure [amputation], they want to give it one last chance with some really powerful antibiotics."Gabor has been hospitalized numerous times since a July 17 fall at her home in Bel-Air, California, left her with a broken hip that required surgery. The actress's condition deteriorated quickly after hip replacement surgery a few days later, and she remained hospitalized for the following three weeks.She was again hospitalized in November after complaining of pain and swelling in her legs, which the ailing actress's private physician diagnosed as a "massive blood clot."Gabor has been partially paralyzed since a 2002 car accident and had a stroke five years ago. Blanchette describes her as "pretty much bedridden and wheelchair-bound for the last eight years." ||||| LOS ANGELES | 
 
 LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actress Zsa Zsa Gabor was resting in a Los Angeles hospital on Monday, awaiting a decision on whether her leg should be amputated because of gangrene, her husband said on Monday. 
 
 Gabor, who is believed to be 93, is receiving antibiotics and a decision on amputation will probably have to wait "two or three days", said Prince Frederic von Anhalt. 
 
 "We don't know; the antibiotics have to kick in," von Anhalt, the ninth husband of the legendary Hollywood star, told reporters. 
 
 The Hungarian-born actress has been in declining health since July, when she broke her hip, and was later hospitalized with blood clots. She was given the last rites in August and taken home after declining further surgery. 
 
 Von Anhalt said her right leg had become infected and had swelled, turning gangrenous. She was taken back to hospital on Sunday after insisting on spending New Year's Eve at home for her traditional celebration of champagne and caviar. 
 
 Gabor's spokesman said the actress had been bedridden for the past few months. Spokesman John Blanchette said amputation would bring obvious complications because of Gabor's age but a successful operation could add a few years to her life. 
 
 As an actress, Gabor is best known for her roles in the 1950s movies "Moulin Rouge" and "Lili," but she is perhaps better known for marrying a string of wealthy husbands. 
 
 Along with her sisters Eva and Magda, she was a fixture on Hollywood's social circuit and TV talk shows for decades where she called everyone "dah-ling" in her thick accent. 
 
 Gabor has been married nine times, and she earned a degree of infamy in 1989 when she served a three-day jail term for slapping a Beverly Hills policeman who had pulled her over. Unbowed, she emerged from jail complaining about the food.

– Zsa Zsa Gabor is back in the hospital—this time to have her right leg amputated below the knee. The actress, who was in and out of the hospital last year after a fall that led to hip surgery, has a cancerous lesion on her leg that turned gangrenous, husband Frederic Prinz von Anhalt told Reuters. He says that when doctors told her the leg must be amputated, she started "screaming and yelling" about wanting to be home for New Year's Eve to enjoy her champagne and caviar. She was being prepped for surgery last night. Click for more, including the blood clot doctors discovered last year.
