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.

LOL, everyone has been warning her that for months! Apparently her doctor gave her a telling off when she broke her hip... No, she is a bolshy-minded independent individualist*, and doesn't believe in slowing down or taking things gently, she just wants to whizz about and go yomping over the moors.

Or, she doesn't believe in slowing down, for her. Obviously if it were someone else, she would be on at them to take it easy. :-D
