[quote=Anonymous]Hi, OP. Sorry to hear. How old is she? My mom has had back issues for years, a couple of surgeries, spinal stenosis and falls. Falls are attributed to neuropathy and luckily she has never been hospitalized. She is 84 and she and my dad still live in their house. I am worried because I sense they don't tell me everything going on, and from observation, not much I can discern. They are cognitively fine. To answer your question, they will do what they want to do, surgery or other treatment. People that age have a very different take on the risk-benefit calculations in healthcare.[/quote]
