Nana is in recovery…
Just called my uncle to check in on Nana and as I was on the phone with him the nurse told him she was out of surgery and in recovery. Whew.
I got a bit more information from him this time. Sounds like the way the break is there is a space in the bone where the fracture happened. To repair it they pin it and plate it to keep it in place. Ideally the bone will grow back and repair itself assisted by the plate. They worry that her age will prevent growth of the bone which would result in a total hip replacement. Also, the way the break is the right leg will be shorter than the left now, but they aren’t sure how much. Sigh.
Will keep you all posted. Thanks for all of the prayers and warm wishes.
