A broken hip

Sunday night at 11:30 the phone rang. 
It was Phil's mom, telling us his dad had fallen & broken his hip. 
Tony had surgery yesterday afternoon.
They used a rod & pin and said the break wasn't as bad as they thought. 
He came through it fine, weak heart and all. 
Phil left this morning to go see him. 
I'm so glad he went.  
The statistics for this surgery at his age are not encouraging. 
 
This brings back so many memories for me. 
Of my dad, and his end of life struggles. 

I'm praying that Tony doesn't have to suffer like that.
