A change of plans...........
In the "blink of an eye", plans can change. And that's almost exactly how quickly things changed about 4:30 p.m. this past Friday afternoon. My mother, Mary, fell and broke her hip. The afternoon was nice so she decided to go out for a little walk around her apartment and lost her footing just before she got back to her door. She was wearing her Lifeline necklace, though, and pressed that so it set phone calls in order, then neighbors saw her and soon the ambulance was there. My brother happened to be away for the day in southern Iowa and my sister is in Maryland to help with her new granddaughter. And I'm here in Minnesota so it was a lot phone calls and hard to know what to do when we were all so far away. Neighbors, Tom and Dee, were there to help my mom who remained quite calm. I talked to her before the ambulance arrived and she said that her hip hurt abit but it wasn't all that painful. Once at the hospital, tests showed a break in her right hip. Her doctor called and said that she was doing well and he has tentatively scheduled surgery for noon on Saturday. I'll leave early in the morning and will go straight to the hospital. Prayers and caring thoughts for my mom are much appreciated.
Oh my! I hope your mum is ok x x x

ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear this. I do know about the blink of an eye. I fell on December 3rd and broke my right wrist pretty badly. Everything came to a screeching halt, including Christmas celebrations. I had extensive surgery and am still in therapy. It is a life changing experience. I hope your Mom does well with her surgery.
ReplyDeleteprayers on the way ... friends and neighbors are blessings aren't they! safe travels ...

ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so sorry! I was telling hubby (this morning, while we were driving to a quilt show) about you teaching the quilt class today. I hope your mother heals quickly.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your mom!!!! Will keep you'all in my thoughts and prayers!!!
ReplyDeletePrayers for your mom and for you as you travel to be with her.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear your news - my Mother broke her hip last autumn - although in my case I was there and watched it happen rather than at home miles away. She made a very good recovery and physically is back to her old self although shi is now quite nervous, understandably. Love and prayers to you and your Mom for the operation and hopefully a good recovery.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about your mother's fall. In the 1980's I helped my 85-year-old aunt through that. She was a tough old bird and recovered well. Afterward, she said that the bursitis in her knee hurt far more than her hip. In thirty years, I know that researchers have improved the artificial hip.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers are with her and her progeny.
I once heard someone say, "Life is what happens to us while we are planning our future.
