Sigh......
It can stop now.
Last Sunday my mom was acting kinda weird. She has chronic back pain, and it for some reason was getting worse.
I knew she was getting into trouble so I called my brother, or I should say my brother's mother in law. Me and my brother have not spoken in seven years....Yup
Anyway, my mom never listens to me...So I sent in the big guns.
She didn't listen to him either.
Sunday night, early Monday morning she called 9-11....
She had taken too much pain medication and had fallen.
She is now in the hospital with two hairline fractures on both hips.
The doctor told her that because she does not take care of herself that her bones are brittle. Basically she is in bad shape due to bad lifestyle decisions.
Yes....that's my mother. The more I told her she needed to exercise, the more I tried to talk to her about what she eats, the more irritated she would get with me. Until I just gave up.
And here we are today.....and all I can ask myself is Why?

Hello. This post is likeable, and your blog is very interesting, congratulations :-). I will add in my blogroll =). If possible gives a last there on my blog, it is about the Fragmentadora de Papel, I hope you enjoy. The address is http://fragmentadora-de-papel.blogspot.com. A hug.
Oh Holly. I'm sorry about your mom, not one hip, but two? Yikes. My mom falls down all the time and the only reason I can think of that she hasn't broken anything is because her weight is so non-existent she doesn't have the force to break a bone!
I hope she comes out of this okay, hope you're okay.
Please don't feel guilty for other people's bad decisions, it's not your fault *at all*. All you can do is what you can, if people don't want to listen, it's their choice.
Hang in there!
