Oh drat

My mother has just called - she's now in a local rehabilitation unit  and was hoping to go home next week - to say that her doctor thinks she may have broken her leg when she broke her hip.   This is on the same leg, which also still has shingles. I may need to drive her back to Plymouth for another X-ray. 

I wish this had been noticed sooner, though I can kind of see that if you are looking at a leg that already has a broken hip and shingles, you aren't going to immediately assume that it's broken as well.   Bummitude.

I'm sorry to hear this and hope she is being better looked after now.

I think she's had pretty good care throughout really (which is a relief!), it's just one of those situations where it is quite difficult to work out quite what's going on and make sure all of it is getting dealt with. :-/
