jagsfan Posted July 23, 2022 #65402 Share Posted July 23, 2022 My friend Ginny update: Her hip is fractured, not broken, and the orthopedist will not operate because he doesn’t think she’d survive general anesthesia. She will be 4 weeks in a nursing home and then 4 more in rehab. We’re hoping she can get into River Garden, Hebrew Home for the Aged that has nursing care as well as rehab. I was there for 3 weeks of rehab after my hip replacement. Nowadays they wake you up after that surgery and tell you to go home, you’re done. The sad thing is that Ginny has always been strong and independent, but she will not be able to get upstairs to her bedroom after 8 weeks of mostly being in bed. Maybe she’ll surprise us, but I think her life will permanently change. It would have changed anyway, because the scans they did yesterday showed masses in her spine and lungs. No symptoms of problems, but she has always refused colonoscopies and only goes to the eye doctor and occasionally to her primary. 98 is a good age to have stayed active socially and always upbeat. I have never heard her take offense from a perceived slight or give offense to anybody. I think that’s her secret for a happy life. She is still upbeat according to her closest friend, who updated us. Thank you, friends, for caring. mimi 19 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJSailors Posted July 23, 2022 #65406 Share Posted July 23, 2022 As I have mentioned before- this thread moves quickly ! Which is a good thing as it is filled with interesting info and life happenings. Catching up here with peppers 🌶of different kinds,gas prices (going down🤞), travel photos (📷) particularity Singapore- lovely @aussielozzie18and York - interesting Graham,and the favorite cities lists🗒 where some posters have cities in common.And not to forget- Jimmy Buffet! I will add that today is our 39th wedding anniversary. As a friend texted us today- “Where did the time go? Wasn’t it just awhile ago that I was dancing at your wedding ?”. We celebrated with a late lunch at a favorite restaurant.No food pictures as I don’t think hubby would understand. But it was yummy. Shell steak for him,a half order of ribs for me and a shared upside down peach cake. Now,we are getting ready to watch the Yankee game. It was a good day! This is us!

I am sure @Ocean Boy would say the same, but that is just my philosophy. Glad to hear you can ditch the wheelchair. Thanks for your advice as well. Is anyone else having problems hitting the like, thanks, laugh buttons? I get a pop-up that there is a problem. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJSailors Posted July 23, 2022 #65409 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Mimi- Thank you for the update of your dear friend,Ginny. I hope that she can retain her spirit in the challenges ahead for her. I think her friends will help her with that. On a practical note- could she have a chair that takes you up stairs- not sure of the name - installed so she could get to her bedroom and bathroom? Hoping she can get in the facility you were in so she wouldn’t have to move from nursing care to a rehab center. Does anyone have any “pull” with the facility to advocate for Ginny? Bonnie- Good news about ditching the wheelchair soon.You are making good progress! MJ🙋🏻 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So glad someone understands my English and there is no "language barrier" 😉 Renee, I highly recommend going with Celebrity. A top notch experience, very smooth from beginning to end. I've done it 10 years ago, and choose specifically the Xpedition because 1) was the biggest vessels plying the Islands and I was worried about sea sickness 2) between 96 passengers is easier to "blend in" should some groups travelling together will somehow "overtake" lots of activities..... I'll be more than happy to help in any way I could 😘 Being such "once in a life" trip, I've thoroughly researched every minute aspect. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
