Frosty Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 You got it Randy! Debi is on my list. Here's hoping she recovers and heals even faster than my Deb! Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George N. M. Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 She will be in our thoughts and prayers. One of the issues of getting older is that it is harder to get and install replacement parts. ;=) George and Madelynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAG Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Mr. Dragon, I (SLAG), and Marg have added her name to our list of thoughts and prayers and intentions. A Charnly is highly installable, and has been used for at least about fifty years. Hang in there Dan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted June 16, 2022 Author Share Posted June 16, 2022 Just an update. She spent the night Tuesday in the hospital for observation. Everything was good to go, so they fed her a very good breakfast and lunch Wednesday and kicked her out that afternoon. Home now and doing great using a walker (I had to move some furniture around) to accommodate it. Again, thank everyone for all the support.

George N. M. Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Good to hear that. Healing and physical therapy should make it possible for her to dispose of the walker fairly soon. Keep us updated of her progress. GNM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I hear hips don't take nearly as long to heal up as knees. Deb only used the walker for a couple weeks and I got to move stuff back where is belonged. Deb and I walked a mile today and she's not too sore. Kicking the rock last Sunday really got her but its clearing up nicely. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anvil Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I had a hip replacement summer before last in June and by September I was back working on my new shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted June 28, 2022 Author Share Posted June 28, 2022 Debi is doing really well on her recovery. Going into week three and she is using a cane sometimes, but the Home health PT and Nurse who come three days a week on alternating days, still want her using the walker most of the time, at least till she sees the surgeon this Thursday. Both are amazed at the speed she is recovering. She gets her staples out tomorrow. We had a curve ball thrown at us this evening. Her mom fell at her assisted living facility and was transported to the hospital. She broke her pelvis and they admitted her. Fortunately Debi's sister was able to handle that mess for us. We won't know anything until tomorrow. But I suspect Ma will have to go to a nursing/rehab home till she is ambulatory. Debi is afraid that they will want to do surgery and at 93 Ma, might not survive the anesthetic, but she is a tough old bird so I'm not sure.

Frosty Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Good news, give Debi a high five for me! That's a real downer about your MIL, I'll hold her in my heart and prayers. Give her my best please. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arkie Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Man, when it rains, it pours. Good news on Debi's progress. Hope Ma comes through the broken pelvis ok. That's a tough one at 93. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
