No TOG, that's EXCELLENT news. When my old ma broke her leg on one of those "Pensioner day out" things, we thought she'd loose at least her foot, the break was that severe, (bones stuck out of her leg) but 3 months after and she was dancng at the British Legion.

Indeed so. If she's fine through the first 48 hours (as she has been) that's usually a very good sign. Depending on what she's like though it may need some drumming into her that she'll be a bit slower around the place from now on, even once healed.

In the elderly, every day delay in replacing a neckafemur (sp?) adds a week to the recovery. In the infirm it adds two or three weeks.*** They let my mother lie in pain for 6 days went she bust her hip. NHS: "We can't operate because her blood pressure is up. We know that because if we give her pain relief it goes down to normal." My sister an ex nurse: "Why not give her pain killers and operate." NHS: That's not our policy. My sister then demands to see the surgeon. Surgeon: "We can't operate because her blood pressure is up. We know that because if we give her pain relief it goes down to normal." My sister: "Why not give her pain killers and operate." Surgeon: We have to wait until she is in a stable state: Sister: "Being alive at 93 *IS* being in a stable state!!!" Surgeon: "Um? Well? Then we will operate" The real reason, our mum being old, she was at the wrong end of the list every time they had an emergency, this and one of their theatres being down.

My gran's neighbour went through something similar, she was stuck in an armchair overnight. Her charming son and daughter-in-law left said chair in situ when they tried to sell the house some time later. >I hope your mum lives in a bungalow or flat, because one >unexpected and eventually fatal side effect was that she >didn't drink enough because the toilet was upstairs and if >she drank she needed to wee - dementia-like symptoms were >eventually diagnosed as dehydration, but she just carried >on going down-hill after that. Sounds like the lady who lived next to me when I was a child. Fine when she took her medicine but as an ex-nurse she refused to mostly, so she was convinced that a) aliens followed her about the house (so she stopped drinking so she didn't have to pee with the alien watching her, and of course ended up in hospital with dehydration) and b) my dad was sneaking in through a gap in the attic wall to steal her undies. She phoned us one day and left details of where she bought her underchunders presumably so that my dad could procure his own supply instead of stealing hers. On a similar note, my dad's mum was telling me the other day how she came to be divorced when dad's dad had a kidney infection and as a result became convinced that the marriage had split up. He was quite annoyed that she'd come to visit him, apparently. The Older Gentleman <totallydeadmailbox@yahoo.co.uk> wrote the following literary masterpiece: >A fall and a broken hip.
