Good news! After three weeks of having her brace on for her fractured femur, mom went to the ortho dr and they took and x-ray -- and she's healed! The dr was pretty impressed after only 3 weeks that the bone is back together! Mom is relieved that she doesn't have the brace - and she's learned an important lesson... don't put the horse before the cart :) She was bemoaning the whole day before that she was probably going to have a cast and she was just hoping that she could stay out of surgery. I kept on telling her that she shouldn't think that way, that she could be fine, etc. And, we get there -- and she's fine! I'm so thankful!
Monday, she's going to have a bone density scan test to see what her bones are like. They know she has osteoperosis, but just not how bad. We'll find out tomorrow! Stay tuned!
Yahoo!! So glad she's mended. I'm sure she's thrilled not to be dependent upon everyone to get things done she wants to do.
