My Mom

As I told you earlier my mom has had a stroke and is in a nursing home because she lost her whole left side. She cannot be taken care of at home. Sunday night we got a call that they were taking her to the hospital because she broke her femur. I was so pissed because 2 weeks ago when they were moving her to change her she said they hurt her hip and that her roomate heard it crack. So they Xrayed her hip and said it was fine. She has been complaining this whole time of pain and they were going to send her to a pain specialist. Well, finally on Sunday they did the xray of her leg and her femur is broken. She laid there for 2 weeks in pain ...... I.am.pissed! I am pissed at them for not moving her the proper way (without braking any bones) and for ignoring her pain. So I went to the hospital and they want to do surgery on her and put some pins and a plate in her leg. This terrifies me because she is not in the best of health. The Dr said there is a chance she could die during surgery. So we are waiting for the heart work up to come back to make sure she is healthy enough to do the surgery. I am scared! I hate making decisions like this. All her tests should be back by tomorrow. Please say a prayer for my mom!
