My Mother in Law fell the other day. We are not exactly sure what happened, but she ended up on the floor in her bedroom and had to go to the hospital. She received a partial hip replacement.
I am grateful that she is back home and on the mend! I am grateful that her partner is a solid and responsible caregiver.
Waking up on the Wrong Side of 50 
Best wishes for a speedy recovery for your MIL.

Thank you! My husband talked to her yesterday and she seems ok…a little loopy, but fine. I sent her some books so hopefully she’ll be able to read

No. Already home. Her partner is a saint, so really I’m extremely grateful for that as well

Oh dear. It’s scary when they fall. I’m glad she has someone with her. My dad has fallen a few times and he lives alone. I want him to get one of those buttons to wear around his neck.

It is tough when an older person lives alone, even when my mother lived next door, I couldn’t be there 24/7, one of those lifeline alarms gave me a lot of piece of mind.

Glad that she is doing okay. My mom is 97 now and I’m crossing my fingers she doesn’t fall again. Last time was a compression fracture in her back. Healing thoughts to your MIL.

We went through this a couple of years ago with my FIL. I hope she has a full recovery and that this doesn’t impact her mobility. We are now in a position to have to push my FIL to consider moving since he no longer does well on stairs. Weirdly, it is because the surgery put too much stress on his knee and messed it up and not because of any lingering hip issues.

As I thought and almost said on your post re distractions – life happens. Glad her care was not added on to your other responsibilities and distractions and feelings about your own mom. Sorry, I couldn’t resist that last bit!
