I ended up getting ahold of the family that called Friday when I was teaching. They were looking for help with transporting mom to Virginia. It sounded like they needed a wheelchair van and maybe even an aid to go with them.
The family was really nice and I ended up speaking with the daughter in law with the son in the background. What they've decided to do is rent a wheelchair accessible van, dope mom up on narcotics, and transport her to Virginia.
I think it's going to be a taxing trip for mom though and I'm not sure that the local doctor's even know that she's going! They might even advise against it since she's in so much pain.
The dilemma of course is that the elderly woman is a very healthy 92 years old and has a really good genes that would allow her to live many more years! Many doctors shy away from operating on someone so old. However, this poor lady is in tons of pain.
My advise was to seek recommedations in town and even at local hospitals such as Strong in Rochester or some of the bigger hospitals in Syracuse.
