I`m not sure what to write, but here goes....
I wrote a posting on friday in words something like - mums been in EMI nursing home for 6 months now and mums doing great, well settled and comfortable, (plus some other stuff). Then I deleted it....again!!
Sis telephoned on saturday morning, (7.45 ish) "mum has had a fall and broke her hip. She`s at hospital, had x-rays and waiting to hear if operation is required".
mum has broke her hip at the knuckle, apparently the cup part is ok, so she had a "half hip replacement", (as dad put it). Visiting mum was very difficult for me on sunday, (prejudging, assuming tubes and monitors,) and when I saw her, she was sitting up in a chair, looking very weary, although comfortable, and probably still shocked. Mum drank a small amount of tea, and a little later gave a small smile. Yesterdays visit went well, as mum looked more brighter, and again gave a few smiles, especially after she finished the "chocolate mini roll".
Then a woman visiting her mum in the opposite bed came over and asked if my mum was from the same EMI as her mum? yes, because her mum has also broke her hip, only last week!! however,
Mum will be in hospital for a week or two!!
thanks for listening and take care
