Elderly relative broke hip now pelvis

[Pinklady81]

Hello everyone

My elderly grandmother who is 92 broke her hip and femur in the Summer and successfully had a rod fitted, she had some time in respite and was living independently in her own flat with a carer coming to help her with morning needs etc. She has now fallen again and fractured her pelvis pubic rami bone? 3 times and told no weight bearing for 6 weeks . She's currently still in hospital and in considerable pain worse than her hip fracture she said . It's just so upsetting to see her like this after we thought she was potentially getting better after a significant injury to her hip and leg. Has anyone got any words of wisdom or advice in the run up to Christmas? 😀

Hi, so sorry to hear this. That's such a tough injury. How is she now? X

After a month in hospital where she caught covid and fought it off then a month in
Respite she's finally home this week. It's going to be a long road but she was so excited to be home and is walking with a frame she's an absolute inspiration! Xx

That's great news. She sounds remarkable!

Your poor grandmother 💐

She truly is remarkable one warrior as I call her xx

That's bloody impressive. All power to her!
