That's horrible. I hope she's going to be okay.

@PGen98 ,

I hope all goes well with your mom!!! [hugs]

I'm sorry about your mother @PGen98. How did her surgery go? I hope she's doing a little better now. I also hope you're doing okay too, you're both in my thoughts.

 

[PGen98]

I'm very sorry to hear about you and your mother .

I wish both of you all the best!

I know it will take months.... because when my mother did fall took a while. Even more for my sister that she was looking after her ... take care of youself too .

That's horrible. I hope she's going to be okay.

Thank you all so much for the thoughts, the surgery went well, she's recovering and they're trying to get her walking already. She is, of course, too stubborn to want to get up, but the option is there. Just hoping the right nurse will come along and coax her out of bed.

…..ahhhh, that’s great news about the surgery and now she can begin her road to recovery ❤️‍🩹….mums are such stubborn creatures, I know but the nursing staff are well used to stubbornness and hopefully will get her up soon and your mom will want to get home and back to her own familiar surroundings and routine etc so she’ll be looking at making that all as quick as possible…she must be exhausted after the surgery, though and the impact of the general anaesthetic….lots of continued positive thoughts to you both…❤️….

Glad the surgery went well!

Hopefully she’ll be up and walking again soon.

She walked to the bathroom this morning, her first steps since the surgery

…does your mom have awareness that she fell/of the actual fall, PGen….?…the reason that I’m asking is because when my mother in law had a bad fall, as well as her physical recovery…there was a mental recovery as well in building confidence back….

…excellent….a very determined gal, I reckon….🩷

Unfortunately not, she has dementia, so she doesn't remember much of anything. She's struggling to understand why she's in pain and why she's having trouble walking, but she is pushing forward.

Very much so

…yeah that’s why I asked because you’d mentioned her dementia…with my mother in law, she lost quite a bit of confidence with her fall …and that then led to her having a TIA/mini stroke as well as her anxieties were so bad….the physical recovery felt like an easier part than the mental impact on her…your mom won’t have that but obviously that’s not a positive from the thing that she doesn’t have good mental welfare with her dementia….it’s such a cruel thing ….💔…but strangely it can have blessings as well, my mom died at the end of last year but she’d suffered with Alzheimer’s for many years…anyway, when my dad died, she had no awareness that he’d died so she never had to grieve for him…it would have devastated her, had she not had the disease….so a blessing in a strange way…

Yeah, we've had to deal with something similar, my older brother took his own life in 2020, she fortunately didn't understand what had happened, even though we told her and broke it to her as gently as possible. It's a blessing and a curse, 100%.

…I’m so, so sorry for your loss, that’s so tough to go through anyway but for you not to be able to talk over your emotional pain with your mom….and yet, knowing that she doesn’t have that pain herself and feeling grateful for that…?..such a conflict of emotions along with all of the other emotions for the loss of your brother….thats all so terribly unfair and I’m so, so sorry that those things have been part of your life….❤️‍🩹

It hurt, definitely, but my brother and I were estranged, because he hated me. He was still my brother, though, so the pain was there for sure.

…💔…he obviously had much emotional conflict within himself so it’s very possible that he didn’t hate you at all ….I’m very sorry, though…
