OMG dublb - I am so sorry to hear about your DGM's fall. A broken hip at her age takes forever to heal. How old is DGM??? My prayers go out to you and your family. It is always so tiring when someone is in the hospital, all the going back and forth so often. But it is so important that someone stays with her during this time. Surgery always makes someone so groggy the first few days, she may not know how to call the nurses station when she need help. Plus the reassurance that someone is always there for her is so important. Keep us posted!
