Old age sucks

I cannot believe what just happened. I called my mom in the nursing home. A nurse went to get her. She was so excited she jumped out of bed. She fell. It now hurts when she moves her leg. She's being taken in for X-rays.

More as I know it. As you all know, this is one of the commonest ways for old people to break hips. Which would suck.

It was a broken hip.

She's going into surgery right now. More as I know it. Prayers and good wishes appreciated. My brother's flying up tomorrow.

Surgery went well

Her vitals are good, she's cheerful (I call this being Midwestern, but w/ev) and she isn't so far on any pain medication.

Next up, rehab. My brother will be there tomorrow.
