I learned this morning that my mother fell and suffered a broken leg a few days ago and is in a hospital. Given her age (88) and over-all health issues surgery is not an appealing option so the doctors have decided to bide their time and see if the leg will heal. We've been told the odds are 60/40 in our favor. The initial CT Scan also showed a suspicious shadow that could have been cancerous but futher tests have ruled that out, at least for now.
