89, broken hip, busted rotator cuff, it will be a miracle if he recovers or has enough time to recover.

I hate to say this, but most of the time at that age, they treat a broken hip with...a wheelchair.

No matter how healthy you are, bone just doesn’t grow very quickly at that age. My grandmother’s ARM simply disintegrated at the age of 95 when she was vacuuming. They replaced that with plastic. She asked them how long THAT was going to last...!

Pnuemonia is a complication from crap like this.

I do something this asinine it’s over...

A cop does this and we have to focus on the years he spent as a soldier and a cop.

Maybe this is the 1st time he’s been caught after all these years.

broken hips at that age are frequently death sentences. they get bedridden and other stuff takes advantage of their weakness.

For an octogenarian, a hip fracture can be fatal.

My thoughts too, this well could be a homicide case in short order.
