When it rains, it pours. Last night my 85-year-old grandmother fell and fractured her hip. Since my dad died, I am the only family close enough to watch out for her. This will be a long rehabilitation process at her age. There really is no other option than to have her stay at my house until she recovers. I love my grandma. She is the only real family I have left besides my sister in this world. Please keep her and us in your thoughts and prayers.
UPDATE:
Grandma had a total hip replacement last night. She came through the surgery well, and I think she's going to be OK. She'll be sore for a while, but she stood up with the help of a walker this morning, so that's a good sign.
