@LadyGrace My daughter is against it because we promised her years ago we'd never put her in a home but I explained to her that this is temporary & that we could very easily paralyze her with that fracture & I'm not willing to take that chance.
I used to work in a nursing home. You've done exactly the right thing. You could very well injure her without even knowing it and yes, this is only temporary. Older people need special care and she'll get the best there.
@Tumbleweed Exactly. Never feel bad about doing this because it was definitely needed so she can get longer term care than just staying a few days in a hospital. She'll get fed and cleaned well and that's something that's very hard for family to do. She'll recover more quickly.
@Tumbleweed You haven't done one thing wrong. You've done everything right for your mom and she understands this, I'm sure. I'm sure she's proud that you're taking the best care of her. Sometimes this is what it takes and I know your mom knows this and that this is only temporary. She's wise enough to see this. Be proud that you made the right decision, because you absolutely did. Younger people may not understand this but one day they will. If I was your mom, I would have wanted the same. She'll have the best physical therapy and everything there. She's in the best of hands, God's hands and the nursing staff whom he will guide.
