With a broken hip :( . My parents were dropping her off at Polaris yesterday. She must have stepped and thought there wasn't a step (stepping down), lost her balance and fell. (she has bad eyesight).

 

She's at St. Anns right now. She had surgery today and that seemed to go ok. They put a pin in her hip to keep it in place I guess.

 

I'm going to visit her tonight after work. First time in 28 years that I've known her that she's been in the hospital.

 

She's 83 years old btw.

I understand her pain. I broke my hip in a car accident when I was 16. My best advise is when they give her the exercises, do them and as many as you can. I was back walking without any help 2 1/2 months later. I know I was a lot younger, but that is my advise.

Just visited her. Damn, talk about PAIN. They're shooting her up with demerol (sp) every 3 or so hours. She has one of those things on her feet that keeps the blood circulating so she doesn't get any blood clots.

 

Yeah, she's going to be transferring to a center for re-hab on the leg. Hopefully it won't take too long... but I dunno being how old she is.
