Help My Hurt

Obama’s grandmother, broke her hip - dies, one day before historic election

by Marijke Durning, RN on November 3rd, 2008

Whether you are an Obama supporter or not, I think that this news has to be a bit sad for many. Barack Obama has been making  history and could be the first African-American president of the United States, but his grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, who broke her hip not too long ago, died of cancer today - one day before that historic election.

It’s known that a broken hip in seniors can speed up a disease process, like that of cancer. The pain and disability can cause the most independent of seniors to become weak and frail.

I can only hope that she died knowing that the boy she loved has reached as far as he could, and that much of his success was due to her love and guidance.
