Good lord...my mom fell and broke her hip!

The woman is barely alive. She's on full time dialysis, she's got no toes left and only half a right foot, she's had 6 heart attacks and now has 6 stints in her heart, has had 2 arterial bypasses...and she fell walking to the bathroom to pee! Like, seriously, I want to laugh and cry at the same time.

They are operating tomorrow, which really concerns me as her stints were just put in a few weeks ago and they were monitoring her really closely to make sure she was stable, now this?! I'm not sure they have a choice, though :(

  • It must be so hard to see her go through all this. I'm sorry. Hope the operation goes as well as possible.

  • Oh nos! How did she fall?  I hope the operation goes well.
  • She said it wasn't a dizzy spell or anything. She got up to walk to the bathroom and she said she twisted as she got out of the cvhair and fell. Bang. I swear, that woman is a menace! lol Ya gotta laugh...crying doesn't help :)
  • Hope everything goes well with the operation.  Keep us updated!
  • (((HUGS)))

     I'm so sorry she is having such a hard time!  Wow.  What a string of bad luck.

  • Holy crap-olla. Thats rough. You have such an amazing attitude about the whole situation though.

    I've heard that most hip breaks (in the elderly population) are actually just caused by frail bones- so it isn't that a person falls and breaks her hip, but that her hip breaks and then she falls. Maybe that happened to your mom? 

    I'm sorry to hear all the health problems she has had!  I've dealt with major health issues with my parents so I can emphasize with you.  Hope the surgery goes well!
