Mum had a fall in the early hours this morning. She is now in Pembury Hospital. I have spoken to Dr Shaheed, after examination, CT scan and X Rays, Mum has a fractured hip along with cuts to head. Cuts can be stitched but after discussion with Viv and Malc and I agreed to an operation which I have been warned carries a high risk from the anaesthetic due to her age. The alternative is to confine Mum to bed care for the rest of her days. Mum is in no state to make the decision so as POA it is down to me. I have no doubts that the op is worth a try as it is the only chance of Mum walking again. She would hate to be bed ridden so I am sure sure this is the best for her. Either way she is going to have a very uncomfortable time, but at least the op gives her a chance of some quality of life. Hoping to find out tomorrow when the op is and if and when I can visit her.
Mike and Philippa came this afternoon to take the boys home. We had a good few days with them, but we are exhausted now, even had fish & chips for dinner and it’s a Sunday.
Just to add to this sad day, Viv’s Steve is in hospital possibly with appendicitis. Hopefully, they will get that sorted very soon.
