My aging Stepmother fell and broke her C1 vertebrae in August and it's been a challenge to say the least. I have learned that I do not have the patience to be a healthcare professional and it's been quite a humbling experience. She has been in a hard collar for eleven weeks and should be out of it next week. I think that it was a merciless that she avoided surgery. It's funny how a couple days into this, I felt like a teenager with all the critical comments and stress. I look forward to others stepping up and doing their part but I don't hold out hope.
