Default My Mom
I took her to the ER today. She has a broken hip. The doctor said that since there was no fall that it can be quite worrisome that you have a broken hip. They did a CT scan and she has several tumors. They will do a biopsy during surgery. She will be 86 in 3 weeks, has A-fib, several mini strokes, COPD, HTN. So they have to get her clotting level to a level to do surgery. They are going to give her plasma tonight to do that.

That's an awful lot for an 86 yo woman to handle... and her daughter...

Please remember to take care of you too, Doydie~

you both will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Sending good wishes, please keep us posted.

FWIW many times when an elderly person falls and a break is found the actual cause of the fall was the spontaneous break and not a result of the subsequent fall.

She ddn't fall. That's the mystery, plus we have all the tumor like images on the CT scan.

She is in surgery now.
