After much hassle my s/dau managed to get suitable transport so I could be X rayed. That was on the 3 Dec. The paramedics,Gp etc had all been saying it was psychological,but the x-ray revealed I had a fractured hip. Based on the dates of my falls it had happened at least 7 weeks before. I was admitted and given a partial hip replacement on the 5th. I became quite poorly with a chest infection and pneumonia and was on oxygen for several days. I am currently in an inpatient rehab unit working towards being well enough to go home.

I’m sorry you had to suffer with a broken hip for so long.
