Sorry to hear about the grandma...104 is a tough age to try to recover from surgery and do the PT...I just thought to let you know that my 84 y.o. Mom broke her upper femur close to the hip back early October, received the surgery (docs said it the "best possible type of break one could hope for; easily fixed, minimally invasive, little to no blood loss.") Mom had the surgery done without receiving any blood or plasma.Mom was transferred to a nursing home about 4 days later and stayed there for just under a month's time. November 4th, Mom was released to her apartment and used her walker for the first several weeks, then as her PT nurse said she could moved towards a cane. Mom eventually received the green light to be able to drive to her PT appointments, as well as do minor shopping trips, just so she didn't put too much weight on the leg when lifting or carrying.Mom now can make it about her apartment without a cane, but tends to recognize that she walks more "intently," aware of her steps, how she turns and how much weight-bearing she can manage. Mom, at age 84, God bless her, expects to make a full recovery as the injury heals and things clear up for her.Mom was exceptionally stressed about what the future would bring. I reassured her that it's "how well you apply yourself just so you know when not to overdo things. If you get tired from PT, snooze a little in the afternoon before dinner. This isn't a sprint, it's a marathon, and I hope both you and I can cross the finish line when we need to. Until then, endure, and just strengthen what you've already got."Mom cracked a wry smile and said, "Bob, you'd better darn well learn to cook better and stop begging for ingredients from my larder. Jeez. Let me have some dignity, ya know?"That was November 10th. Just prior to then with Mom's blessing, I purchased an FM9 that we both deemed a reward for my putting up with Mom when she wasn't in best form. "Ya earned it, mister," she said. "Spend your money with what you'll enjoy, cuz ya never know what the next day will bring."So, that's my story. If my Mom will be anything like your Gram in about 18 years, I'd just be happy we've both got them still with us for a time. Once they're gone...yeah...
