A bigger setback than we thought. Daughter-in-law Rachel, an experienced nurse, noted that Fran had excessive pain in the left hip. She suspected a hip fracture and we took Fran to the Scripps Encinitas emergency room again. Rachel was correct. Fran has hairline fractures of the pelvic bone. This does not require surgery, but she cannot put weight on it until it is healed. She is hospitalized there in room 271. We are really not capable of caring for her at home at this time. By the way, they also discovered hairline rib fractures, which were missed on Monday. Her spirits are good, expecially after she got enough medication to knock down the severe pain.
