Re: Not again….
Update: after a week in the hospital, she is home. The crack in her left greater trochanter was fixed with a titanium rod and screw, and the surgery was very successful… no pain at all, and she can bear full weight on it.
Unfortunately, a week in bed is not good for a Parkinson’s patient, and it’s going to take a while for her to be able to walk with a walker again… something she was able to do before the fall.
The good news: we found a woman with long experience in caring for Parkinson’s patients, and she is a real live wire… willing to do absolutely anything. I have had to tell her that I don’t expect her to clean, cook, or shop… just look after my wife. It is quite expensive, but I guess this is what you spend a lifetime saving for.
Thanks to all your expressions of concern and sympathy!
"Reason and facts are sacrificed to opinion and myth. Demonstrable falsehoods are circulated and recycled as fact. Narrow minded opinion refuses to be subjected to thought and analysis. Too many now subject events to a prefabricated set of interpretations, usually provided by a biased media source. The myth is more comfortable than the often difficult search for truth."
