Posted: Thu Apr 13, 2006 5:02 am
Folks
Please be praying for my MOM today and during her recovery. She is 72 She has had both hips and knees replaced over the last ten years, or so. However yesterday she fell getting into her car. She layed there calling out for over an hour. her cell phone was in the car and could not get to it. Our Neighbor heard her screaming but did'nt want to butt in.(her Words)I guess they have alot of screaming at their house and think it normal? (Brought me to tears, the thought of her laying there in pain. and cound'nt help her) Finally my brother got home from work and heard her screaming , got the ambulance called.. She broke her femur(thigh bone) just above her knee replacements.She is having surgery today ,not sure, but what they told my wife (RN) they are going to try to put a pin from the knee replacement past the broken part. She is overwieght , so they are not sure how the bones will hold up. She has very brittle bones just between the break and the knee replacement. Pray for her physical condition and for the family as this will be a family effort to take good care of her. I don't want her going to a nursing home for the rest of her life. Daily care is what she will require. We need guidance. I will let you know how things pan out.
