My grandmother ended up having a shoulder replacement and her humerus pinned and plated.  The morphine they gave her really made her, well, out of her mind.  She kept ripping out the tubes and demanding to go home.  She is getting better though.  She will be going to a nursing home for a few weeks while she heals, and then moving in with my Aunt Susie (her youngest).  She took the news of recovering in a nursing home quite well.  We were all worried about that as she is very independent.
