Sorry about your husband Derxa. My dm did that a few years ago, she slipped walking the dog. The ambulance they sent sailed right by her as the breaks didn't work on the hill so continued downhill until it stopped in the hedge. A passerby in a 4x4 saw what happened and drove her to hospital.
She phoned my, high as a kite on morphine complaining that she'd had no pain relief. Anyway, a week later, she was stood on her good leg icing the christmas cake, with her broken foot being supported behind her on a stool. I hope your husband makes as good a recovery as my dm.
