In June of 2008 mother's failing vision caused her to become entangled with the dog gate in the family room. She fractured her femur just below the hip. After surgery she was released to Twining Village Health Center (nursing home) for rehab which dragged on for two months before she was discharged. Not only is a fracture a physical thing, it is also an emotional thing. It fractures hope, determination, and life's routine. It is a challenge for both the patient and caregiver.
