I was re-reading what I had written earlier and our trip to New Hampshire did not work out as planned. We are all back in Massachusetts tonight but Mom is in the hospital with an impacted hip fracture and the dog and I are at home. Dr. Hayer told us that this is the least invasive surgery for this type of break and that the prognosis for her bone healing is good. He could not, however, say what her mobility might be. He will put in a screw and a few pins to hold it all together. Blood flow to the bone will be a factor in her recovery down the road. Maybe the doctor can tell us more once he gets in there. Mom is glad to be home in this area and we are very glad to have Dr. Hayer at the helm. We wish both Mom and the doctor angelic protection and godspeed.
