Having celebrated her 92 birthday by throwing herself from top to bottom of the stairs, (well it would hardly be the other way! ) my aunt found herself in the Derbyshire Royal Infirmary while they rearranged bits back to where they should be.
After this she was transferred by Ambulance to St Oswald's Hospital in Ashbourne, seems the staff are friendly and capable with the exception of the torturers who masquerade under the guise of physiotherapists.
I did mention that it was probably a case of "use it or lose it" to which my Aunt replied that at this point she "really didn't care! "
Anyway, major thanks to the staff who are not only making life comfortable for my aunt but made my life easy when I called from Canada - Thank you all!
"Care of my Aunt"
