Sad news
Labels: Mama 2 commentsThe assisted living called me around midnight on Sunday night to tell me my mother had fallen in her room and they were calling an ambulance. I rushed down there and got there while they were trying to get her onto the back board. The news at the hospital was bad. She had broken her shoulder and her hip. She had a hip replacement surgery and a plate put in her shoulder today. She did great during surgery and was in her hospital room recovering when we left her tonight. Still trying to let the anesthesia wear off. What happens next depends on her and how she does during the rehabilitation/physical therapy. It's hard to say because of her Alzheimer. She was very confused in the hospital and doesn't really understand where she is or what is happening to her. It is absolutely heart breaking to see. Alzheimer is very cruel and I hate it.

Lisa,
I am sorry to hear that about your mom. Alzheimer's is a horrible disease it is worse than just loosing your memory. Did you know that it is hereditary. I think there may be a test for it. My cousin's dad had it and I think they were all tested. My prayers are with all of you as you go through this most diffcult journey. Denise
