Didn't Want To Talk About It
Sister over 80 fell last Thursday in her yard as she was meticulously brushing up and fell on a pebble - she has been invaded with workers doing the whole 5 houses up ie - new slates, chimney pots, new doors. I knew about 3 months ago this would be the death of her. And I am right - she fell and broke her arm and her hip. She contactd me on the Friday and as she is just a "perfectionist" lady I find it very hard to see this fragile lady. left arm has plaster of paris and she keeps on squealing with the pain with the arm and hip. I know this lady to be extremely dignified and so this stresses me out. I have visited her and she does come across a bit confused but when I called today she has been operated on so I didn't see her. My own feet and legs are playing me up I couldn't go down the second time today so now I know her future wont be the past. I am very annoyed and upset as I am an old lady myself but apart from cousins etc we just have each other.

Look after yourself, too. Rest those legs and feet at every opportunity and treat yourself to a bit of what you fancy every now and then.
thank you guys - oh guy fawkes LOL - even though this happened on Friday the phone calls (she doesn't live anywhere near me) but her visitors and our in-laws, and friends have been calling me tonight. And neighbours - they have all been brilliant. I am not looking forward to seeing her tomorrow in more pain.
I will give you a laugh. My neighbour told me where to park in the hospital carpark but I got lost and ended up in a street near the hospital. I had to walk about maybe 15 houses in a street to a bus but couldn't walk and two guys were getting into a car from a wee house. I asked them - could you bring me up to the top of the street so I can get the bus. They did so but one of the guys said to me - "don't you ever do that again - get a lift with strangers" - I said - why - he said they could run away with you. Says me - well they would be hard up. Anyway - have no idea what is going to pan out but as my cousins told me I need to stop stressing out cos I will become ill myself.
