Right now, we're not sure when she'll get out. Seems one of the meds they had her on for rhumetory athritis, is causing her bones to break down. She's got multiple tiny fractures in her legs, pelvic bone region, tailbone, and lower spine...They said surgery is out, as it would cause more problems then fixing the situation. So instead they've got her doing therepy to help her get her legs/hip so she can walk a bit better.

Worse part is though, they won't take her off the medication causing the problem. Cause if they do, the RA will worsen?
Wish I could offer you some help there, dear; but I have no knowledge of RA. Still, best wishes to your mother for a speedy recovery and a return to "home-cooking".
