My 92-yr-old mother fell and broke her hip. She is supposed to have surgery very soon (or had it last night; I haven't received new information yet today). All prayers for her would be appreciated. She is otherwise very mentally and physically healthy!

Did her hip break after the fall or did it break and then she fell? At that age it is hard to know for sure. I certainly hope her surgery goes well and she bounces back from it in a few months.
My own grandma was 95 when I saw her get up with her cane from the couch. Her hip broke and then she fell. She was very cognitively alert and was physically healthy up until that time. But this was back in the 60's and they decided not to operate on her to fix it. She ended up in a nursing home bc my parents could no longer take care of her on their own as she became bedridden. She could not sit up and ended up in bed. Eventually she succumbed to kidney disease. It took her a year to die. It was very sad to watch her go down hill from that one incident.
