Mom is OK today, no pain when the leg is still so she is just resting. They said maybe surgery around noon, but I haven't even talked to the surgeon yet and it's 11:00 so who knows.
Mom said she really didn't know how she fell or why. She said she was getting from her lazy boy chair to the wheelchair which she has done many times and then all of a sudden, she was on the floor. The leg may have broken and caused the fall, or the fall could have broken the leg, but I guess we will never know for sure.
I just met the internal medicine doctor who will follow her in the hospital and through rehab. I really liked her. She talked about some rehab facilities near our home, so that will be good if they are close to me. Mom will have to spend some time in rehab getting up and about again so she can go back to her assisted living apartment. She's not very hep on PT, but she's gonna have to do it.
