[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nurse here. Sorry you are all going through this. You say you're concerned that if its unsuccessful, it will be the beginning of the end. The unfortunate reality is that without the surgery, its the beginning of the end. An immobile elderly person is at a big risk for lots of different complications. With a 60-80% success rate, she should do the surgery. It will be a tough recovery process but being immobile and in a severe amount of pain will cut her life short. Obviously it doesn't seem like she will be able to fly to the US to get this surgery. Are you able to take off a chunk of time to be with her after surgery? [/quote] Thank you for this pov! She is going to get the surgery in march. She had a dexa scan and her bones are fine to go fwd. they live in a different country so I will go over for a couple weeks for the surgery and after but cannot stay for too long. They have live in 24h care though so that will help. Wise words and Ty [/quote]
