Good morning TPer's. It feels like a long time since I was last here.
Nan had moved on to what I hope, as awful as it sounds, is the beginning of the end. I say I hope, because she has been asking to die for years now.
She has been in a NH for nearly three years now, and on Sunday she had a fall, broke her arm and a small fracture in her pelvis. They've said all they can do for the pelvis is bedrest and painkillers, but she could barely walk before the fall so I dont think she will ever get out of bed again. The hospital has given her a supply of codeine and sent her back to the NH.
Has anyone experience of broken pelvis's? She broke her hip last year but because they got her straight up the day after they pinned it she maintained her mobility.
i just cant see how she can come out of this.
I should add she's now 101, and the NH are fantastic with her.
