Update: Good News!!
My mom is incredible. There were three possible options, 1. Setting the bone only, 2. Setting the bone and reinforcing with a steel rod up into the femur and screws, 3. Plate and screws, which would be so very invasive, should not go into detail, but it would be
seriously invasive.
We ended up with # 2, My Mom is amazing. 2 hours of surgery, 2 hours of recovery and she was making jokes and being her normal wonderful self. When she hurts, she just says, "it hurts" she said a bad word a couple of times, and apologized, " it is not pretty to say that". I left her about an hour ago, she is medicated and sleeping.
She was not happy to have surgery, she still thinks it is B.S. but she is already better. Her pain is down from a 10 to a 7, and now she can heal.
Thank you Everyone for your prayers and warm wishes. I knew where to go, where the "force" is strong. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year to Everyone!
Hug your family and friends, appreciate every day. None of know if we will have tomorrow. I am glad to have one more, of hopefully many more, Christmas' and days with my Mom.
*Cheers* *hugs*
