Posting for traffic so apologies.
mother visiting. Severe ankle fracture requiring 3 hours surgery.
6 hour drive back to her home. AA are fortunately recovering her car.
Non weight bearing and using a frame. She can't come home to me due to stairs and toilet set up so needs to travel directly home. No ambulance/hosp transport available.
Physio suggesting leg up on back seat of car with wheelchair transfers to service station for toilet breaks.
Is this reasonable 4 days post surgery? Any helpful suggestions or recommendations for wheelchair hire?
She won't contemplate going on train with me which I think will be easier to manage.
Hosp keen for discharge ASAP.
HELP! Travel likely on Fri.
(And please feel free to send sympathies... it will be a long journey...)
Private ambulance unaffordable and taxi driver unlikely to be able to help her with toilet....
