My mom broke or rather shattered her left femur right above the knee. Shattered into 25 pieces. It’s was an open fracture. Did emergency surgery. Put in two plates and lots of screws. This was during Covid also. I was with her in the er so I was the only one that could stay with her. She stayed 10 days in the hospital and another four months in rehab. No one in our family could visit her there. She is so strong. This was 4 months after my dad had died, they had been married 63 years!! We really didn’t think she would walk again! But, she surprised us all….did I mention she was 81 at the time ?? So proud of her
That's amazing! Was that in the UK? I was just asking because I've had some pretty heavy duty surgeries for myself however in the USA, they throw you out as soon as possible, like as soon as you have a BM after major surgery!! And then maybe you get home health care for an hour once or twice a week for maybe a month or two....
Life can be so cruel, I had an abusive mother and father father died alone, mother is still alive I have not spoken to her in 25 years. Your mother was probably a wonderful woman, may she rest in eternal peace.
@@juliejustus6878 52 1/2 years in a variety of settings...Med-Surg-Peds, oncology, geriatrics, rehab, finally Hospice. I only retired last year because I never had quality time away from the cell phone. Loved being a nurse.
My sister is the same age,91 ,she lives alone,mows her lawns, and has her own teeth. It was a tough generation . Fortunately, she was far from the war( in New Zealand 🇳🇿)
I am so sorry that Allison passed away. She fought hard. Metastatic cancer is really hard to fight. My sister died in 1997 of breast cancer that metastasized to her lungs. She too fought hard. She had it for 4 years. She was 37 & had a 7 year old daughter. RIP Allison.
I felt very badly for Iris. A lovely woman. My Dad was the same age when he fell and required surgery. He was hospitalized for three months. He was independent before that. It all changed after that. I was his caregiver for over 8 years. He was the best. Alison's story was very sad. An excellent episode.
My brother had Splenic marginal zone lymphoma and went through the treatment and was in remission, roll forward to last year and it's back but they also found a different cancer in his lung and he never smoked. They removed part of his lung and it was successful. His SMZL is not bad enough to have treatment yet, even though his lymph nodes light up like a Christmas tree.
Oh Claude, my heart breaks for you. Remember the precious times you had together and how fate finally brought you both together eventually. A relationship definitely meant to be x ❤. Rest in peace beautiful Alison 😢 I was shocked and scared when you said of her constant coughing and diagnosed with lung cancer despite her being a non smoker. Only because i am a non smoker who has been suffering a horrific cough for years , and worse now i am suffering with a cold. They are treating it as asthma and also reflux, but nothing is helping. You have me thinking, thank you x Fantastic news that Iris survived the dangerous for her, surgery. Well done, you are a fighter x
Allison died the same year as my Mom. My Mom also died of cancer in her brain, secondary to ovarian cancer which had also gone to her lungs. She was also on hospice at home when she died. Tears.
Allison was just like my dad. His started in his lung. By the time it was found, it had already spread to his brain. He had three tumors in his brain. He died 8 months later after chemo and radiation.
You don't need the stress that comes from an unsupportive family. You need to be protecting your peace now more than ever. Focus on your physical and mental health. I've ended my relationship with my sister and her entire family. Love yourself first.❤
The compassion of the medical staff when they realised that wonderful old lady had broken both femura and was unlikely to recover. The NHS at it's best. On the other hand the guy who put his finger in a meat grinder and TURN IT ON!! and then freak at what was a minor injury. We'll never survive another war!!
(Prelude: we’re Canadian.) My Mum broke her femur right above her kneecap. She waited four days for surgery, was on morphine the entire time. They fixed it with plates and screws. She was sent to a rehab hospital and was there for four months (when her allotted rehab time was up). Her femur did not heal at all. She broke it in May, she came home end of September. She had a second surgery in January and they inserted a rod). After eight months she could finally stand WITHOUT broken femur pain. Moral? If anyone you know breaks their femur DEMAND A ROD.
What province are you in that they didn't stick in a rod? I know quite a few people here in BC who had breaks in various parts of their bodies, my granddaughter for one when she broke the humerus in her arm. All had a titanium rod put in and healed well.
I lost my dad 6/30/2004. He had Caplan’s Syndrome. He suffered for two long years. I smelled his hands on my hands for over a year because I was holding his hand when he passed.
Once I started watching the BBC’s Call The Midwife and seeing how the poor lived in the Eastside of London 1955 and into the early 60s I took a big interest and started looking things up. One day I was talking to my dad‘s cousin, my second cousin, and I was told by him about living in the Gorbals in Glasgow. It was exactly as the show depicted. I can see the reason why my dad always wanted us to have the best that he could afford on his jobs wages. Then I looked up pictures of where he was raised, and it infuriated me. I know it was better than being out in the elements, especially in the winter, but to have one toilet for whole apartment block I just felt more, much more could’ve been done. Edited: You’re so right. We have no idea what it was like to be them and we are so spoiled. Even though I’ve never owned my own property I live in a house now that has three bathrooms in it. That’s luxury that we take for granted.
Lost my mum March the 11th 2023. Just three months after the diagnosis. She didn't have the chance to have any treatment at all. Her brain tumor was taken out but the tests were inconclusive and all we knew was definitely metastatic. She went downhill end of February and early March again and she fell into a some kind of coma a week before she passed away. She was 60.
……had a giggle at that Receptionist who loaned the young lass a pair of socks. I’ve always carried in my work, & shopping totes’, a small cosmetic purse with a pair of nurses’ scissors’, small tube Dettol cream, small bandages/bandaids’, & small sewing kit. It’s been handy several times’, over the years’. No socks’, but always took slip-on footlets’ when going to buy a pair of shoes…………
Because her mom is a little deaf…didn’t you hear her daughter mention that to the orthopedic surgeon when he was explaining to Iris what had to be done?
I cant also help but mention the young man with the badly hurt finger. Mind you this happened to me 45 years ago but the numbing meds going in was so painful, it stung so bad i had to grit my teeth and pray. After the first 2 injections it didn't stink so much but wow, at firstt i just wanted to say forget it, im leaving. 😂
Grab a pair of hospital-issued slipper socks. That will work until you get back home. Wash them and keep in your work bag for the next time a patient pees or pukes on your shoes...
People need to take responsibility for their weight. I know it sounds judgmental, but obesity leads to all kinds of disasters: digestive problems, sleep apnea, joint problems requiring expensive replacement operations, Type 2 diabetes and its horrendous and very expensive consequences (e.g. kidney dialysis), cardiovascular diseases (high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, various cancers, and worse Covid outcomes. ALL the world's health-care systems are warning that they're already overwhelmed and won't be able to cope with these consequences in the future, and it's not fair on people who suffer from conditions they didn't bring upon themselves when they have to wait in a queue behind people who could have avoided their ill health.
There are not enough doctors MAKING their patients accountable for their weight issues. Get tough with your patients - they will thank you in the long run.
@reneebaker3828 Hear hear. It was probably steroids given for breathing problems that made her gain weight. Plus not being able to breath well enough to exercise.
The only time you should call anything Ginger is if it's a root or a cookie you call somebody a ginger you're basically using a slur that is mostly used against Irish or redheads in general
Iris, I know you are one of these special Ladies that makes friends easily and now you have many friends in your care facility. I hope you win at cards every time!!🥰🩷 Claude, i’m so sorry about your lovely wife, Alyson and her passing. It’s a heartache that just won’t heal because they’re not there with you anymore and I know how you feel because I’ve been a widow for three years now and my heart aches for my husband. The best thing we can do is look back on those special happy times that we spent with our mates and cherish those memories. Take care. Job 14:15 You will call, and I will answer you. You will long for the work of your hands.

Im 62 and I broke my femur, 2 years on and still a struggle, had no ct or MRI scan..hope your mom is doing well
She is one damned strong powerful woman! What a role model she must have been.
Wow she really went through it. She has a very special daughter.
Alison got to experience her one true love…can we ask for more❤❤
Rest in Peace Alison. I lost my momma to lung cancer 11/11/2011. It's a pain that you never get over. My heart goes out to Alison's family.
Life can be so cruel, I had an abusive mother and father father died alone, mother is still alive I have not spoken to her in 25 years. Your mother was probably a wonderful woman, may she rest in eternal peace.
I lost my mom to cancer on January 18 2003
I lost my Mom in 1995 to lung cancer. It still hurts
God bless you@@symptomoftheuniverse4149
I lost my mom 11/11/1996 to breast cancer. It never gets easier
What a lovely compassionate nurse Elizabeth is, her patients are lucky ❤️
I love this channel. There are so many stories about long happy marriages. So nice to see nowadays.
I'm so sorry Claude. It's hard to watch your loved ones fade away 💔 😢 RIP Alison.
~ rest in paradise ~ 😔 🕯
I just love elderly people. They're honest, and very loving. They're so special.
Not all are loving. Personalities come in a variety of packages, and not all good.
Incredible stories. As a retired nurse, it's great hearing the language of medicine.
Thank you for your service! Hopefully! You were one of the good ones. I've had to much experience with the bad ones 12:59

I have to say I personally think season 16 is the best season by far.
Allison was just like my dad. His started in his lung. By the time it was found, it had already spread to his brain. He had three tumors in his brain. He died 8 months later after chemo and radiation.

Do some research into cancer treatments and learn that they generally have weight gain as a side effect. Stop being so heartless and judgemental!!
