Last night about 7:00 PM, my Mom, who is 73, fell and broke her left hip. She has Parkinson's, and I guess she just lost her balance and fell. Fortunately, I was there, so I was able to get help quickly, and she'll have a partial hip replacement (the ball part of the ball-and-socket joint) done tomorrow.

She is in good spirits but still in a lot of pain, and with her age and condition I worry...so if you pray, or think good thoughts or send healing hugs through the ether, we could sure use 'em! I'm spending a lot of time at the hospital, so I don't know how much I'll be able to check in, but I sure appreciate your thoughts and prayers.

TIA,
DJ
