"Immobility following on from a fall"

I have 2 prosthetic hips and had damaged soft tissues but suffered no breakages . However, painkillers and rest are the only options and without help, rest is difficult. Initially too certain movements were not only painful but also counterproductive.

I felt angry with myself because normally as an 81 year old I am active and independent

As a result, All plans had to be put aside which was difficult because I had relatively recently moved home and was geared up to renovations and gardening.

The team responded immediately to my request for help and supplied me on the same day with appropriate appliances. The allocated team member was sympathetic and careful in her consideration of what I would need and spent a considerable amount of time discussing this.
