Crutches and Mom do not go together!

My mother has been complaining for some time now about her knee hurting her! She has been limping around for about a month now and complaining of her knee hurting. Today she finally went to the Hospital to have someone examine her. She went to Washington Regional Medical Center and was seen by Dr. McGhee. We are not quite sure what has happened but the Doctor seems to think that she has tore something in her knee. She has been instructed to contact a Orthopedic Surgeon. For now she has been sent home on crutches and a knee immobilizer.
