Rupert fractured his femour last sunday week after a fall in the middle of the night and had to have two pins put in. After a week in hospital 20 miles away, he is being transfered to our local comunity hospital today, which will be much easier for visiting.
He has had some good days when he's been more wakeful and has been able to sit in a chair, and some days when he's been very sleepy all the time, and stayed in his bed, his blood pressure dropped a couple of days ago, but was ok yesterday.
One of the nurses there was very pesemistic about him ever being able to walk again, as he was not able to understand what or what not to do, but he's a fighter, and I think he will eventually be able to come home, with a bit more help for me. Though I know at the moment I wouldn't be able to lift him on my own. He can be very stubborn, and if he doesn't want to get up, no way can I make him.
