Her bruises must be healed

ALLEGED bruises.

First lady Melania Trump is expected to attend a White House event on Monday evening to honor Gold Star families, her spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham, confirms to CNN.

[...]

Much speculation has surrounded the lengthy, 24-day lack of first lady sightings, spawning conspiracy theories ranging from plastic surgery to a stealth move back to New York City, all of which Grisham has denied. The first lady herself weighed in on the rumors, tweeting Wednesday, "I see the media is working overtime speculating where I am & what I'm doing. Rest assured, I'm here at the @WhiteHouse w my family, feeling great, & working hard on behalf of children & the American people!"

And why didn't you attend the children's event on the White House lawn the other day?

Monday's reception is closed to the press.

Seriously?

Is there going to be a Melania double who can't sound like the real Melania or something?

Grisham tells CNN the first lady has been holding meetings with her East Wing staff about her platform initiatives, as well as planning for upcoming White House events.

Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.  Although, I guess you can hold meetings while you're in a cast.  ALLEGEDLY.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
