Up in the clouds
Sis and I set off about 2.00pm to walk the dogs, by 2.10 she was taking the dogs home and I was sitting on the ground phoning for an ambulance. I slipped on the wet, cobbled, steep lane and heard the most almighty crack.
Hospital staff have been great, if very busy. I am currently in bed in a single room, with fingers crossed that I can have a theatre slot tomorrow, so that dr can take the bone fragments out of the way and pin/plate my right leg.
Neighbour and sis looked after me, tried to keep me warm, dry and entertained while waiting the hour for the ambulance to arrive and sis brought a mounting block for me to rest my leg against. She had to sit on it to stop it sliding off down the hill.
I was NOT planning on being in hospital at this time.
