Showing Original Post only (View all)Hubby's not coming home from the hospital today....their gonna keep him and do surgery on his ankle... [View all]
He had a recent fall here at Masonicare where we live now and was whisked off to the nearest hospital. He's OK, stable, doing fine but his medical team thought it was a good idea to stabilize him further and fix the fracture in his anke. They called me early, woke me up and told me what their plan was.
That was a few hours ago. Hope to hear a good report once they finish ankle surgery. I'm so glad they are doing this. Falls can be fatal to the elderly. He will have physical therapy from a good team at Yale New Haven hospital.
I know he's in good hands!

I am glad his ankle is being fixed. You're right about falls and the elderly. Good to not risk
