She had this surgically repaired 4 days ago and is about to be transferred to a Sub-Acute Rehabilitation Unit with a plan to discharge her home in a week. She has a history of hypertension and osteoporosis and has a significant hearing deficit, requiring bi-lateral hearing aids, which she does not like wearing. She lives with her two dogs and is an enthusiastic volunteer for Meals on Wheels and the local Library. She has a daughter who lives locally. She tells her story: “I tripped and fell over one of my dogs as I was going to feed them, such a nuisance, my GP told me to be careful of falling because of my osteoporosis. I am very keen to get back home to my pets and garden though I do feel a bit worried about falling again now. I have had quite a bit of pain with this operation and today it is quite bad again. The nurses are worried about my wound as it is a bit red, I’m sure it will be alright. It’s hard to sleep in here – even with my hearing troubles it is very noisy! I’m feeling very tired but trying to do my best, I want to be able to get back to my busy life, I am very active and need to be able to drive and get around”.
