I took a fall at home and it resulted in a fractured hip, which I didn't find out about for 4 weeks after my fall, The pain got to unbearable and my family made me go to the emergency department. I was admitted and my health declined quite rapidly because of my surroundings, pain and lack of continuity, my family were very worried about me, so the lovely nurses at the hospital got me a bed in a rehabilitation place called Chestnut Grove, which was much nicer and I spent a few weeks there getting myself back on my feet with the aim of going home to my own home comforts.
The Team worked with me a lot, including the physios, they slowly got me up and about, I was able to do more and more things on my own which not only helped me physically but also with my mental health as I've always been a very independent person. My family were really happy with all the help and support I received and are now grateful to have me home and getting better everyday.
