fracture pelvis

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I'm so sorry to hear about your mom and her fall. I know where you are at

because my mom did the same thing and ended up in the hospital,rehab,and then

board and care. She had been in assisted living but would not use cane, walker,

or help from her husband so she fell and fractured her pelvis. This was while

her arm was in a cast. One month before she broke her wrist from a fall. With

LBD they forget how to use their legs, therefore they don't know how to turn

their bodies when they walk. It's very hard for them to understand concepts

..When mom was in the hospital she tried to not eat so she would die. I talked

her out of it so she as you know is still here.I have now given my mother

permission to go. I told her she didn't have to stay for me.I told her it hurts

me to see her like this and that I would be okay. She is now on hospice and her

days are numbered. She is bed bound and isn't eating or drinking much. Maybe

the drug they have your mother on is not good

for her. I'm not familiar with that drug, but there are others. She probably

wants to sleep because the pain is very exhausting. My mom was about 80 or 81

when she started breaking parts.

Her LBD gets worse every time something out of the ordinary happens. This is a

horrible disease and it takes alot of patience and understanding from us, as

well as the medical people. Most of the professionals I have met, don't know

anything about the disease. I hope everything works out for your mom and

yourself. If I can help with anything, feel free to contact me. God Bless your

journey.
