Tough stuff at that age. My dad broke his...

Did broke hip at work one night. Out on workers comp at 90 years old. I know there must have been people in an office somewhere really confused by the dates, assuming there was a mistake. I know at the hospital there was. The doctors questioned his date of birth on his charts and questioned the results of his pre surgery testing. Surgery went well.

But afterwards. He was in a rehab place for a month and a half, maybe two? I swear he aged 10 years in those two months.
Not many 91 year olds want to go back to work, but he does. But he knows he can't. And he's become everything he was afraid of becoming overnight. Physically, mentally aging like someone sped up the clock after slowing it down for so long.
