Ok, so on my fabulous birthday on Tues. I get a call from my Dad in the afternoon...
"Hey, How's your day?" .... "Fine," I say, and he said
" Well, then let me ruin it for you, yur mom fell and broke her hip."
So, I have my priorities change completely in my . Now she's had hip replacement surgery. Her head bleed in calming down. She is fighting pneumonia and winning, and coming back to being responsive. She stood 3 times today, assisted of coarse, but she's getting a little better every day. It is exhausting I guess, because I come home from the hospital drained every day.
My Dad takes the night shift and I take the day. It's going to be a long ride. I am having a hard time watching my parents grow older. It's interesting to talk thru all this with my own kids and tell them to please make fun of me when I'm old, and find a little humor. But, without hurting my feelings.
That endure to the end scripture is a multi level script. I seriously thought it meant, all the way thru raising my little kids to be self sufficient. Then I thought it surly meant thru the teen years. And I watch my sweet mom and realize it really means the long haul. I'm a little more short sighted than that I guess I'm still thinking the teens.

Sorry. Watching anyone get old isn't great but having surgery is not fun and recovery is even less fun. I hope the enduring gets better.
Gosh...I'm so sorry!! I sure hope your mom recovers soon...and that you get some rest and can relax...I'm so sorry :( Thinking of you...
Aw, bummer! I hope she recovers well.
Prayers for your mom. I hope she is able to get all the care she needs. She is certainly already surrounded by love.
