Elder rant

I got home from my appendectomy on September 19, the day after my aunt's birthday.  Mom now needed more care because of pain to her hip.  You see, when she fell she hit the wall but landed on her leg.  She had initial pain from that fall.  However as the days went along and she was less mobile more pain registered from the area.  A delayed pain.  PLUS she was constipated and had gas and that added to her pain.  Doctors may not believe in it but if you have gas it can creep into the strangest areas and hurt.  Being blocked up meant the gas she had couldn't escape.  She was in pain when she moved.  Then we needed a new home attendant because the usual lady had bronchitis.  The second lady got into a car accident.  A friend who lived a few doors away who had experience in being a home aid and was in need of a job stepped in and assisted.  A week off starches and on extra fiber, including Mirilax had her passing her bowels .  She still has pain which is managed with children's Motrin.  Her physician examined the hip and said the bones were aligned correctly.  It was just delayed pain from the fall plus a little arthritis.  Was glad to hear that.  Don't want her on medications
