I think I know the answer, probably involves buying a black tie, but it would be helpful to understand what might happen.
The mother in law is in her 80s, very frail, takes mountains of tablets every day, but we have always felt it important for her to stay in her own home (equipped with aids like a lifeline alarm, stairlift etc) because that gave her a purpose in life and all the getting up and shuffling about making a cuppa and meals kept her active. Whenever she's been ill and had to spend a couple of weeks in hospital she has tended to stagnate, not move around etc. and goes into a decline.
Last night we had a call - she had broken her leg. Not sure of the details but Mrs BJ went into A&E and confirmed it is a spiral fracture of the femur. They'll be deciding what to do today. I don't know whether it's near hip or knee.
I'm sure she's not strong enough for surgery and while nobody's ever said what some of her ailments are, the fact that she has to have a transfusion every month and takes Exjade can't be a good thing. Chest infections are something she gets a lot.
Do we have any reason to expect a positive outcome?
