I never thought it would happen but my mom just tripped and broke her hip. I had flashbacks of her stroke as i sat in emergency holding her hand and trying to keep her calm.
She was a high risk surgery with Copd, fluid on her lungs and an extremely large heart...but she survived the surgery. I couldnt leave her without it because she was in pain.
Now she is stoned on morphine, which I hate because I dont know if she will every come out of the confusion. She thinks she was playing baseball, tripped and got a new leg. She keeps poking me in the eye trying to straighten my part..but then she tells me she loves me or says something very funny.   very sweet.
So now its a waiting game to see if she will walk again or need to move to a place that needs more care. Its stressful to care for her and worry. She is like my little kid...or  big kid.

While I am doing this..I am holidays so prepare for my friends wedding. It has already been a week of prep, a stagette, shower, now a golf tourney, BBQ, rehersal, wedding and then final day....ahhhhhhhhh
