She mustn't walk too much, Ludmilla and keep her foot at rest as much as she can.
As for the cataract surgery, don't worry, it's something that surgeons do by dozens every day, the operation lasts about 15 minutes, then she will have an eye drop treatment for a month.
One of my neighbours was operated on last year, when I met her two days later, she said " OMG now I can see all my wrinkles! I didn't even know I had any,,,,"
Dankeschön.physicians are hard to find. The doctor wanted to send her to the clinc - further examination and evaluation if a surgery is necessary. She did not want to go. So, a removable splint it is. The bone is not completely broken...
I actually like the darkened patina. It gives the bag a individual life.
Thank you! Although we see people getting old we often ignore their age.
She has osteoporosis, do I have that right in mind..? Wait..there was something with Vit K2...

Yep, öha. Exactly my thoughts when I heard the news.
I am feeling with both of you.I hope she will listen and rest her foot. It was hard enough to urge her to do do during the past two weeks. I fear now that she has the plaster she thinks that she can easily jump like a young dear again.She mustn't walk too much, Ludmilla and keep her foot at rest as much as she can.

Poor neighbour. Seeing all wrinkles is not so much fun after an cataract surgery. She needs to keep the lights down in the bathroom. That's what I do.

My mom had the eye surgery done after almost a decade of refusing it.
After her 3rd fender bender she said ok to one eye.
She was so happy 2 hours later she immediately booked the other eye.
THEN decided to get her knee done.
She had the same comment about wrinkles, but was still happy she had it done.
Yes, she has. Thanks to some medicine she had to take some years ago. It's not the first time some bone has broken, but it is her first Ermüdungsbruch. All the other times before she fell or had some kind of accident
They did a new test today at the doctor and at least the osteoporosis has not become worse.
Thank you so much for listening. It's quite a challenge sometimes when parents get old.
No, I think that your mum knows she must be careful. The plaster will help. Difficult to jump up and down with that thing on...I hope she will listen and rest her foot.

As for the bathroom lighting, we are twins!
Glad to hear this. Only one eye needs the surgery. But she dragged this surgery for a loooong while now. Hehe. I wonder, if I am going to hear the wrinkle comment, too.

It is a challenge.
Parents are still your parents no matter how old they are.
I just wish they didn't act like I was still a teen.

Yay for dark bathrooms.

I would say YES.
And now she will notice yours too.
Mine likes to point out all my grey hair too.
Oh, you are lucky then. Mine act like I am ten years old.
Yes, they are always our parents, although the roles switch from time to time, now.
