I’ve broken my hip! A couple of weeks ago I had a UTI, got up very quickly first thing to get to the bathroom, bp dropped like a stone and I fainted. Unfortunately I landed hard on my right hip and that was that. Bumpy ambulance ride (well it certainly felt like it!) and I was in surgery the following day. I’d fractured the neck of the femur, so for technical reasons to do with blood supply it was easier to carry out a partial replacement. I was home after 4 days and now begins the hard work of recovery. I cannot praise the hospital staff highly enough, they were all so caring and considerate. I can’t say the same for a couple of patients however, who were constantly talking in normal tones on their mobiles from 5am onwards-including talking to ‘nannie’s boy’ ....... the dog!! Grrr!
I’m feeling very loved and spoilt by my family and friends including several lovely Gnetters. You know who you are. Thank you all x
