Nana update...I caught the wife on her way home from class and she filled me in. Bad news isn't quite what I thought.
The doctor said her hip is fine. She doesn't need the walker, can walk with a cane. She should basically be back to where she was before this happened.
Better news is that the terrorpists are gone. The nasty terrorpist had written out a list for the doctor, that included things like "continue to use walker."
Wife threw the list away and yelled to Nana from the other room, "She's not a doctor and she doesn't even know you didn't break your hip." Nana was quiet for a while, but she later agreed.
Nana has agreed that the walkers can go back to the ~attic~.
She also got a cortisone shot for problem with her thumb. That usually lasts about 2 years.
The bad news is that her shoulder doesn't look good. One has already been replaced. But the doctor said he couldn't see the socket. Nana doesn't know that part, but just that she has an appointment to see the "shoulder man" after the first of the year. That ~might~ require surgery. But we're working on convincing Nana it won't until we really know.
And here's my favorite part of the day. On the way home wife said to Nana:
"Mom, if you become a cripple, I will take care of you for the rest of your life. BUT, if you MAKE yourself a cripple, I'll put you in a home."
Nana laughed. But she got it.
Thanks for all the continued prayers and for tolerating my rantings.
Corin wouldn't have gotten very far without his friends.
Valerie sure is a GRITS!
Evening Corin - I'd say 'break a leg' like they do show-biz but I don't want to risk it.
Great term "terrorpists" that should go in the HH lexicon.
Sorry to hear bout Nana's shoulder.
