Hi everyone. My 78 year old mother fell this past week, severely breaking her hip at the femural head (where the abductor muscles attach) and her shoulder in two places. They did surgery (rod and pins) for the hip, but are slinging and swathing the arm/shoulder. Your prayers would be greatly appreciated.
Praying for your mom..............Gods healing grace...and for you. I am sure it is hard to watch mom have to go through it I am sure. Give mom a freeper hug for me :)
Prayers up. May God assist her and facilitate a speedy recovery.

Take care and take time for yourself.
Would you mind telling me what your mother’s name is?

So who is going to be her caregiver? You? If so then you need prayer and the knowledge not to overdo it and ask for some help from those around you such as other family and friends.
Also if there wasn’t an obvious reason for her fall, please have her assessed for a mini stroke. A few years back there was a study done on the connection between pts coming into ER with broken hips as the result of a stroke. There was a strong correlation between individuals that fall as they are experiencing a stroke and break a hip. The ER staff get so focused on the obvious injury that they miss the cause.
I lost my mother on November 18th. It has been very difficult
for me. She was 88 years old, and her heart finally gave out.
I pray that your mother makes a full recovery, and you can enjoy her company and love for years to come, FRiend.
Prayers up.
I’m not in the medical profession but from observing 2 elderly relatives with similar injuries it appeared that a major risk to their health came from spending too much time being bedridden and losing muscle mass. Please inquire about physical therapy options early and often.
I will hold your mother up to our merciful and healing Father. I am teary right now reading this as at 70 I took a hard fall and broke my femur and hip. Please everyone, pray against her pain now and through the rehab unless the Lord does a miracle of instant healing. It’s Very, very important for her to have healthcare workers that are kind and gentle with her and for family and friends who will support and care for her emotionally and physically for a long time as it is going to be hard. I am so glad all these FReepers will pray for her. That is powerful. I will keep you and your mother on my daily prayer reminder for a long time. God is able to do exceedingly abundantly more than we ask or dream. Please let us know how she is doing.
So sorry for your mom. Prayers sent that she recovers soon.
