mom
My mother fell and broke her hip today. My niece who lives near my mother called from the hospital to tell me about it.
She evidently lost her balance while washing clothes. Her washer is in the back of the garage on a part of the pavement that is about six inches higher than the rest. Mom probably stepped backward and lost her balance.
She is very fragile and has osteoporosis, so she will have a hard time healing. In the early morning she will have surgery to have a pin implanted.

Oh, Bill, I’m so sorry to hear that. This is serious business. I wish her well and hope she’ll recover soon. I can’t imagine the pain.

Yeeeoooowwww!!! That hurts!! I hope she’ll recover ok. I had to have my Dad move in with me when He broke his hip.

With osteoporosis sometimes the bone snaps before the fall. Same break nonetheless. Recovery is usually good.

That’s a tough one. Hopefully she’ll recover as quickly as possible from the break.

ohhh…that’s a tough one.I don’t know your mom’s age, but even if she lives nearby, she’s gonna need constant love and attention. The aging process seems to be filled with constant decisions.
On a different note: Your sunflower is gorgeous. Did you find my site via fletch at austincountrylimits?
