In the Hospital Again

Hi, all,


Today's news: Terrie's at Hazel Hawkins and should now have a rod in her right thigh, not to mention a few staples. 


Yesterday morning she got up to go to the bathroom and, thinking she was healed, she didn't ask for any help, so she fell and broke her right thigh (femur). She was to go into surgery at 4 this afternoon, but I don't know how she's doing now. Dr. Bunch said he was going to remove the cancerous bone, insert a rod to stabilize the bits of femur that are left, and (I think) add a few staples at the top and bottom to help stabilize the bone fragments. 


Terrie has been only catnapping, so she's sleep-deprived, as well as being well sedated, so it's no wonder that she's a little confused. Grandma Juanita says Terrie's been hallucinating and talks a lot while she's dreaming and then she wakes up.


I"ll let you know how she's doing when I can -- today or tomorrow.


God bless!



Under His mercy,

--Marty
