It's Fall & Auntie Ruth took it to heart. On October 13, she took a spill while walking--cane in hand--6 blocks to a birthday luncheon for a friend! She caused quite a stir as folks tried to help her up; a nice gentleman called an ambulance, & she was whisked away to Kaiser. Surgery room had an opening (what a lucky break!) & she immediately jumped at the chance. Can't remember exactly what they did but having the procedure definitely will contribute to her recovery time. She spent 4 days at Kaiser, 1 week in a rehab center & is now home taking it easy, using a walker & a handy tool with a long handle to pick things up.
It's been quite a "wake-up" call. She's realizing she can't go running around and, if so, it's worth the price & peace of mind to just call a cab.
She'd enjoying getting a call or a card from the family.
