My mom broke her hip today :(

Hips fit into the circle of life Darwinian recylery by providing meat to tired hungry apex predators after inconveniently shattering following a fall leaving their owners fear juice saturated meat suits a pheromone stinky visceral smorgasboard and typically ravens appear first to peck out the eyes furtherly preventing escape while useless prayers are screamed at the invisible sky gods and the endocrine system hijacks consciousness during trauma with delusions caused by dmt released from the pineal gland.

I think it depends on how skillfully the surgeon works and how her bones knit post-op.

You're rude and frankly not too bright. Save your Kerouac-wannabe musings for stand up if you can stand up

Send you my prayers. For my mom it was the beginning of the end. But.. just enter the home. Its your mother. Had the same rule in Holland. If you don’t visit here now she will deteriorate like a leave in fall. I’m not able to express my anger. But in the first Corona period we were not allowed to visit my mom. After four months all tooth had gone bad. My mother must have been in incredible pain. All justified by Covid. Finally I was allowed to take her to the hospital. They pulled them all. No tooth left. She used to be a dentist. The last thing I could do for her was giving her water. With a teaspoon. They gave her morfine for the pain. Then she died.

they will kill her in the hospital with drugs and ventilator.... thats how they did my mom...

you must tell them straight up, that if she is sedated and cannot speak to you and she dies, that you will demand an autopsy.... then they will take care her properly

im not kidding!

Give her some bone broth everyday and she will be ok sooner hopefully.

yeah, its all over. these things can do someone in 10 years younger. you have my condolences.

you are filtering what you want to hear. most of us are saying its hopeless.

Prayers being sent!!

she needs sunlight, a vital nutrient.

OP, just so you know, my mom was a little younger than that when she fell and broke a hip - badly. She needed surgery. But then, they realized she had heart disease and didn't think she would live through the hip surgery. So, they did open heart surgery first so that she could turn right around and do the hip surgery. On top of that, she had dementia. She survived.

My mom broke her hip when she was 80. She didn’t exactly heal, their bones are fragile. She lived to 91. She will just have a harder time with mobility. My mom was tough she moved around and managed. So don’t think the worst.

Seniors who break hips usually pass away within 6 months or less.
Too much trauma to body and at that age they can’t recover.
I am not a troll. Heard this straight from a Nursing Home Director once.

OP I'm genuinely sorry about your Mum.

I must say am I the only one that read the title and the first few lines as Green Days walk alone song?

No disrespect it just read like the song in a odd way.

That's what killed my mother. She had hip replacement and never got out of bed again.

My mom broke her hip sometime after she was 80 and lived another 4 years in pretty fair health. There are no guarantees, but we'll be praying for her.

My great grandma had the same thing happen at the same age back in 1976 and they put a pin in her hip and she lived to be 96...

So she should be okay, bro.

Say screw you im going to see my mother.

Unless they stab your mother unbeknownst to her with COVAIDS-19 "vaccines", she'll be fine.

God bless

Poor dear! My mom broke her first hip at 80, and the second at 85. She is 89 now and doing well. No hip pain, no limp.

I hope and pray that your mother does as well.

Best to you.

I will pray for your mom. I think she stands a very good chance! My friends mom is my mom’s age (91) and recently broke her leg, high up by the hip and she’s finally home from rehab and doing really well. Keep her spirits up- call often during the day and maybe get her watching a show or something happy- talk with her about it and keep her involved. Get your dad and sibling to bring her magazines and maybe some word search or crosswords- something she enjoys to give her something to do when family isn’t with her. The rehab is key. Also, after rehab, make sure you and your sibling can be with her often to help her walking about and to get her balance and strength back up.
Hugs to you worrying about your mama. Tell her you love her and that she’s going to be ok. Tell her she’s strong and older people have had worse breaks and with a few months, they’re back doing their normal activities. Stay strong friend.

OP, this is true, not always a death sentence. I always thought so too, but had a coworkers elderly relative break a hip and she made it. They were all surprised, we all thought it was a death sentence, but stats say 4 out of 5 make it.

I worked as a hospice nurse for years while I was going to college. Overnight shift to pay the bills. More often then not it doesn’t end well but I was shocked at some peoples recovery…even in their 90s!!

I don’t want to give a false sense of hope but good energy and positive thoughts make a difference. I will send mine

Not true at all. Thoughts for you and wish good luck for your Mom op.

My mom broke hers at 85. She walked fine again after some rehab, and lived until 95.

Prayers. I did home health and took care of people in their 80's and above. They did well. Yes, it is rough on them but they do and can get better. Keep her spirits up and yours too. Take care
