New here. Apologies if this has already been a thread.
My partner (70) broke his hip in January. The consultant has said it is mending well. He uses arm crutches and the physio has said that he should really be trying to walk with one stick. The problem is my partner is not really trying to walk at all! He can get himself up and dressed and use the bathroom etc but then he sits in the living room and seems quite content to sit and do nothing but watch tv. Our kitchen in downstairs and so I am up and down making tea and getting all his meals which I do not mind doing if he would just show some motivation! He complained of pain in the front of his leg and had it x-rayed but that came back clear. I suspect the pain is due to lack of exercise and when he does try to move a bit of course it is painful but he won't take painkillers. He was never particularly active - no physical sports or even much walking - but I feel he will melt into the couch if he doesn't find some 'get up and go'. I am getting so frustrated and angry at him but what can I do?
What do you think would go well with coasters like this?
Have any of you got all electric cars? Pros and cons please.
