Dang... only a month ago we moved our dear Mother into a nursing home and today she fell and broke her hip. She's 12 hours away by car in Emergency while they find a room for her. This happened this morning at around 11:30. Surgery scheduled for tomorrow morning.

Mom's pushing 91... this is not good. She's also extremely allergic to any sort of anesthesia and becomes violently ill. Maybe they have new stuff that won't mess with her so much.

We are trying not to have any expectations, meaning anything could happen in the next 24 hours. All we can do is hope for the best and remain calm. I am sooooo glad I talked to her just 2 days ago. Right now I'm trying to get to her by phone at the hospital but I don't even know if she is lucid enough to talk. I called during a shift change and was asked to phone back later.

Dang, this mother stuff is tough as many of you can attest to. I just thought I'd kinda put this out there to ya'll just to get some of the heaviness off my chest. Hey, thanks for listening... I'll keep you posted.

Live to love, love to live.
