Mom/Grandma fell this morning in her apt. at the Van Mall Care Center. She was going to answer the door, and we believe left her walker behind, turned too fast and fell. She has an intertrochanter fracture (non-displaced) of the right femur. She went to the OR about 30 mins ago. She has been at the hospital since 0915 this morning. Mom got there about 0930 and I arrived about 1200. It is now 1700. Long time in the ER, breaking the 5 hour average.

We are headed back in about an hour. She will be in the hospital for about 2-3 days, then..??? We will meet with social services and see where we can have her be rehab'ed for the next 6-8 weeks. I believe we will continue to maintain her apt. at Van Mall. So much for another beautiful day in the Northwest. It really is nice...and she said to tell everyone that , "I really didn't plan to do this." That's Grandma Esther............Dad
