How do I get us all home?!

I am in Europe on holiday with my husband and 3 primary school age kids. We have a hire car that only he can drive. He has badly injured his hip, he’s been to hospital and is on strong painkillers and has crutches. He can barely walk and is in agony. We are meant to be flying home on Friday. How do we get the hire car to the airport and all of us into the airport? I am going to request assistance once we get to the airport. Also at the other end, how do I get him to our car? We are a shuttle bus away from our car. He literally can’t walk and is in agony. I truly can’t figure out the logistics of this.

He’s had a CT scan and gestational booked to see a specialist next week. Don’t think anyone has mentioned MRIs again…

Is he still in a huge amount of pain or getting a bit better?

Thanks for updating. Everyone heals differently, I hope he heals quickly.

Basically a broken bone needs minimum 6 weeks of plaster cast.. the pelvis is load bearing & needs to fix well enough before the force & twisting of the femur messes it up….

Don’t know why this said gestational! Luckily he’s not in pain when sitting, only when trying to walk.
