Way back when I was a teenager my G.F.'s alcoholic mother got banged by a car, flew up onto the curbstone and broke her hip badly .

She spent quite a while in the hospital, the doctors told me that people over the age of 50 who break hips are often never able to walk again and usually die within 1 - 1/2 years if they don't become ambulatory again .

Women loose the calcium out of their bones faster than men as they age .

I didn't realize that 50 was so old a the time, her mother was still quite the beauty .
