Needs after a fractured femur

"Needs after a fractured femur"

About: Braid Valley Hospital and Ballymena Health and Care Centre / Occupational Therapy

(as the patient),

At the beginning of 2023 I fell outside and fractured my femur resulting in a metal pin being inserted and 3 weeks of physical therapy.

When I was ready to return home I found that I was no longer capable of certain simple tasks and required equipment to allow me to live my life as near normal as possible.

I felt frustrated as I could no longer perform daily tasks.

I wish to thank you for your response on Care Opinion. I am sorry that you have experienced such a challenging time and despite rehabilitation have found that you are no longer able to do your daily tasks.

Physiotherapy endevours to support people to return as much as possible to their daily lives and I am sorry that you did not find that the case.

I appreciate your feedback.
