Mom Fell

I've missed you guys. I haven't posted for quite a while. Mom fell last Saturday and broke her hip/leg. She had surgery Monday and we are going through the recovery process. She is 89 and is probably in the mid stage 6 of Alz. She is getting excellent care at the hospital. Her nurse said she will be there for "a while", and will be in re-hab for "a while". Her progress will now be up to her and God. I just wanted to share, I'm glad I got back on this site, it's comforting. There are a few of you that have been here since I started reading three years ago, and it's nice to "see you again". Anyone who is new to this site, keep "in touch", it's very helpful.
