CRAZY weekend. Rainy Saturday. Much nicer Sunday. Except...
Mom fell Saturday night and broke her hip.
Wasn’t a bad break, so surgery was only 2hrs Sunday.
Over an hour away.
They expect she’ll be back on her feet tomorrow.
She fell getting out of bed and was on the floor so fast she couldn’t articulate what actually happened. Short term memory is getting spotty. As for things in her youth, her mind is like a steel trap: names, places, events, curious vignettes...

Took a strike on the first pitch.
Two balls outside.
Then clocked it into the pocket in deep right field for a stand-up double.

Just had to call an ambulance for a site employee, possible stroke.
Left side involvement, inability to move left arm, leg, face droop.
No word on status.
Hope and pray we got the ambulance to him fast enough.
Sorry to hear of your Mom’s fall, prayers up for a speedy recovery!
Best wish. They fix hips like magic these days.
My goodness.
I’m so sorry for your mother, HK. It’s scary when we do that because we have no control. I hope she mends quickly!
Sorry about the fall. M-I-L went through that a while back. But she didn’t need surgery, just several weeks in a rehab facility. They said later her bones healed like she was a 12-year-old girl. Hopefully your mom will have the same outcome.
Not that M-I-L’s arthritis in her hips was improved, but that would have been too much to expect.
In a surprisingly larger percentage of elderly falls with broken bones the bone breaks before, and causes, the fall.
Good to hear they were able to effectively treat it, though!
