Jennifer Aniston has been sizzling on the red carpet, schmoozing with other A-list stars and enjoying a PDA packed love fest with new beau Justin Theroux, but one place she hasn’t been is by her mother’s side.

Nancy Dow, Jen’s 75-year-old mom, had a stroke a few weeks ago, and while her daughter visited her in the hospital she was not with her when she was released.

In the photo a frail looking Dow is seen leaning on a cane as she walks out of a Los Angeles pharmacy as she recovers from her long hospital stay.

Courteney Cox was photographed walking with a cane Wednesday night after leaving a ABC party at Spago restaurant in Beverly Hills, and RadarOnline.com has the surprising snap shots.
