The hospital did mom's MRI last night. She does have a fracture. Evidently a pretty bad one. They don't want her on her feet at all because she could turn the fracture into a break.
Mom will be having surgery sometime today -- as soon as they can get an operating room.
I plan on being at the hospital all day.
Please pray for my mom. And for me. This is doing a number on my nerves. While in the ER yesterday my panic disorder kicked in. My hair was soaking wet from the anxiety. Mom even asked me if I went into a bathroom and had wet it down for some reason. No mom that's just how I get, my skin gets the clammy feel to it, I get hot, I get sweaty. I looked a sight! Hopefully with some extra meds my anxiety/panic won't be so bad today.
What some of you don't realise is there is more to worry about than just the surgery. The recovery is worse practically. About half of women that have the surgery (at mom's age and older) will die from complications that set in after the operation. I don't totally understand it all but I know what the doctors have been telling us for years. And that was DON'T FRACTURE OR BREAK ANY BONES (expecially the hip and pelvis). Recovery is hard.
Well I gotta go I want to get to the hospital before they take mom to surgery.

Of course, she and you will be in my prayers. God, I beg you, please heal Kathy's mom. Ease her pain and suffering in the healing process too and please give Kathy, peace and strength through all of this. You said, "whenever two or more are gathered in my name" that prayers are answered. There are so many more than two.
