Both of you hang in there!! Better in a place that can deal with the situation than having to rush back!!

That's exactly what I've said to Ena, Steve.

Dear treadhead1944

Thank you for your kind words; you are so right. I guess this episode has certainly taught me a thing or two.

Hello All

Just a quick update to let you know the good news that Ena has now been discharged from hospital, and is at home with crutches (which they call cannes anglaises here, wheelchair, plastered leg with numerous stitches etc.

May we say thank to all forum friends who have been such a wonderful source of support

Best wishes

Hello Nigel,

I'm very glad for you both Nigel! This will make your life already a bit easier, not having to go to the hospital anymore. Will Ena need doing exercises in the future? The best wishes to Ena and yourself. Take care.

Kind regards
Patrick

Thanks Patrick.

Ena's leg, from just below the knee down will be in plaster for up to 45 days (although they'll have to replace that in a week or so, when all the stitches come out) and then it's physio, physio, physio as far as I know.

Best wishes
Nigel

Wonderful news to hear that Ena is home Nigel, it is always so much better to be back in your own home and familiar surroundings. Once the stitches are removed Ena will feel a lot better but even though physio can be a drag it is very essential for a full recovery.

Dear Mike, Martin and Des, thank you for your characteristic kindness and support.  It certainly is a relief to have Ena home. It's also helping to give me a better appreciation of the difficulties facing those who, if only temporarily, are wheelchair bound and/or are on crutches.

Best wishes

Great news. Being home is always a great aid to recovery and a lot less strain on you both.

Bets wishes to you both.
