"She'd never had it as a child. So now she's been told to rest, she's not allowed any visitors. and we're telling you, Barbara, no scratching."
Barbara originally fell while at the Washington home of England's U.S. ambassador, Peter Westmacott.
"We love you. We miss you," Whoopi said.
"We just don't want to hug you."
