My Father fell at age 89 and broke his hip in 4 places.
The surgery was successful and the bones healed but he never really recovered. Never walked again.
My MIL broke hers at 82, it healed but she had to use a walker until she passed at 93.
My MIL fell into our pool in mid winter. She was in her mid 80’s. She broke her hip and leg. She lay in ice water for about 20 minutes until the mail man found her.
She is 97 and uses a walker, but that just happened about three years ago.
Every case and person is different.
My mother is just getting out of rehab this Friday after breaking her hip on March 25th (neck of left femur). She is 102. Already can walk some, but isn’t totally back mentally yet. Prayers for Mr. Carter’s recovery and I know my mom, Gigi, would gladly accept them as well.
