MOM BROKE HER HIP, WHAT NOW?

My mom is 84 and in good phys. health. Thyroid disease,Rheumatoid Arthritis and dementia are her only problems. Her dementia has progressed to the point that she can not any longer communicate her wants, thoughts or needs. Today she factured her hip. They are installing a rod and screws. What should I be watching for? Is she likely to live through this? How do I hlp her if she can't tel me what she wants. Should I do a special diet to help her heal. Her doctors keep saying that shes 84, like that is some answer. I love her.
