That sucks. And we are all getting older also.
My 80 year old mother is in rehab right now with her second new hip,
trying to learn how to walk again after being in a wheelchair for three
years. She has no muscle left in her legs and the transition is tough,
very tough. But she is determined to walk again, it will just take a
while, we hope. My 83 year old Dad has been picking her up, it is
killing his back as he has lost a lot of muscle mass too.
