Caring for Mom with broken hip

Hi to all. I have been caring for my Mom since 2013. She only has one functioning kidney and one that died but, is still there. My gravest concern is that in 2013 she broke her left hip. Now it is 2018.She broke her right hip in December 2017. She seemingly becomes upset that there isn't more progress.

I try to let her know that at 84 and still being able to do a lot of stuff is miraculous, She doesn't concur. For anyone who is full time caregiver as i am 24/7, because we Love them is why we don't give up. I promised my Dad in June of 2010. Thanks Dad, We will take care of her from here.
