Borken hip

[whatdidyousay!]

PFH - ALL for your kind thoughts!! I am very glad for them!
Turns out my mom had a pre-surgical consult with the orthopedic surgeon who repaired my broken arm couple years ago. He is an associate of the person they were thinking of to do the surgery and we have asked HIM- who fixed my arm - to do the procedure as we know more of him and he ended up rated as one of the area's best for that specialty. Due to some arthritic changes in the hip socket she'll be having a partial hip replacement, which the surgeon has performed many of. Apparently her injury is very common for people in this age range. Procedure is set for about noon tomorrow. whatdidyousay! Right now she is in the hospital. After the surgery she will probably be in the hospital for some days and then go to rehab on the same grounds.

She apparently thought the injury was nothing and with some help got up after falling and WALKED to her car at the mall and drove home.

Bebonang you also please walk on the good road as I know you do, perhaps you will never break your hip!
I am honored....

RR, yes, I think we will

Yes this a common injury among the elderly , their bones are so fragile.
I had to be very careful moving some of my clients as their so fraigie .
It is amazing your mum was able to walk , I would thought she would be in horrible pain. I hope she will be better soon. I am so worried about falling on ice and breaking my hip!

oh, I'm glad, deafskeptic!

for more kind thoughts, Botti, FF, Midnight and whatdidyousay!
Midnight, also for your meditations! I hope all is well too and we could sometime meet at the Rally
Bott, I sure do hope the stress test is fine too!

she had the procedure today and it took about 45 minutes for the actual operation - doc. was pleased with the results and thought everything went very smoothly, no blood needed. She was groggy but very aware afterward when we saw her come back from the surgical room and she gave everyone's hand a good squeeze! She has an immobilization brace on the one leg where the operated hip is and is supposed to start PT tomorrow.

yes, please do be careful, whatdidyousay! no more falls related to AD'ers!

Glad to know your grandma is feeling better. Yeah, the pain can be awful. I'll keep your grandmother in my thoughts. I bet she had to do a lot of walking and execrise to recover from it.
