As with your mother , my old dear has done the same !
5 weeks in hospital with pneumonia in Bridgend, came out on Monday, at home for 2 hours , falls over , breaks her hip
Surgeons did a pin and plate operation on her
Whats the prognosis ?
Nurse was saying they get the poor old things up and moving and get them into residential rehab nursing care homes if needed?
My old dear is on a death mission 💀
When I my mother in law did it they got her up an moving as soon as possible, sent an OT to her house to assess it and got various stuff fitted, stair lift, grab handles etc and sent her home. She was in hospital about three weeks and had a nurse visiting at home for while
Nice one Mr m , its not like the old days ehQuote:

She started in the Heath and they were fantastic , she has since been moved to Llandough for physiotherapy ,if I am being honest they do seem to have a bit more time and have kept me fully informed of my mums progress. I felt terrible for the poor nurse who had to ring me and tell me there was covid in my mums ward , she kept apologising even after I asked her not to .
So its fingers crossed .
Hope your mum is ok Sludge . Mine is my biggest fan and I would like it not to be her time yet .
By Llanharan, just up the road , great mate , cheers 🍻Quote:
