Update on Mamaw

As some of you may know, I am in Ada helping with Mamaw. She was at home Monday evening and went to the garage to get out some hamburger meat to thaw. When it was thawed she was going to call Pat and Pat was going to make dinner for them. Pat lives next door to Mamaw so they eat together a lot.

There is a 6" step down into her garage...as she stepped off something went wrong. She said she doesn't even feel like her foot ever hit the ground. She thinks her hip broke before that. So she fell and laid on the ground for 1 1/2 hours before Pat came up and found her. Pat had tried to call about 3 times and decided something was wrong when she didn't get an answer.

They did surgery on Tuesday, adding two nails in an X formation and securing them with a screw. She doesn't like to take the pain meds because it makes her talk funny. She walked with a walker for about 10 steps forward and 10 steps back yesterday. She was more afraid to try to turn around than to walk backwards. But she doesn't like the cramps she gets so I think I finally have convinced her to stay on a schedule on it.

I stayed out there with her last night and she did pretty good. She walked to a chair today and is sitting there now.

I am at Mom's to take a shower and then I will be heading back out there. Thank you all for your continued prayers!
