[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 710136, member: 1233"] Thanks everyone! Have not heard from them yet today. It is early for them to be in contact. I wait until mid afternoon to call them usually. My dad always thinks he knows best and that I am overreacting. It is the family dynamic for some horrible reason. drives me nuts. I will say the shoulder issue was one I didn't see coming. She was moving her arms fine and not complaining about her shoulders at all when I was there. Gone, my dad is an Aspie and the one thing he does NOT cope with is my mom not being well. He makes jokes because that is how he copes, but he truly is barely hanging on when she is in pain. She is the center of his world, the one thing that he truly must have to cope. He handled his own open heart surgery FAR better than he has handled her hip problems. He has been an over protective grumpy bear who makes the strangest jokes at the strangest times during this process. She uses a walker most of the time, but for some strange reason was going up the stairs using a cane. Dad has fixed that problem. The stairs have been replaced with a ramp. I think my brother worked until midnight last night getting it done. I truly appreciate the prayers. They mean a whole lot to me. I hate having my mom in so much pain. She has chronic health problems and has had many, many surgeries over the years. I just hope this helps her be more mobile and able to do the things she wants to do. [/QUOTE]
