I was gonna take a pic of my mom last night to blog about but she was still kinda out of it and I felt bad. And even though my blog is private (I'm up to 49 readers) I would still have felt bad posting it. Anyway, they took my mom into surgery around 430. Vicki and I waited there and we waited and waited and waited some more. Finally she got out of surgery around 10ish and we got to see her a while after that. The doctor said it was a very bad break. She had broken her femur and about 2 inches of it was gone, disintegrated into bone dust! Then the bone that encircles the knee cap was broken into two pieces. And lots of little shattered pieces like the pieces to a broken light bulb is what the doctor described it like. But, he said he got it all put back together. He used a titanium plate, 20 some odd screws, and some bone graft for the missing parts.
When we saw her she was still coming out of it and wasn't making a whole lot of sense. Some of it was hilarious! She was on a mission to plant some pumpkins at one point! haha! I called her this morning and she doesn't even remember us being there! Oh well. She's got a lot of recovery and healing to do. I'm just thankful that she's okay and still here with us.
