My 92 year old Mom fell and broke her hip. She has not been in a good state of health for years (chronic back injury has kept her from being active), and has lost much of her lucidity...but now this.
If she was her "old self" (yes, I hear the irony in using that phrase), and was active and lucid, I'd say she is a fighter and will surprise many by healing and making a comeback. But she is frail, and mostly in dementia... and so the pathway brought about with a hip fracture in the elderly looms large.
Send her some love and healing energy, please...
