My grand-daughter is also doing ok and has to go back to the fracture clinic on Wednesday morning. |
Bernie, yes it is quite normal, it's called hip precautions. Have they given her a elevated chair too?? and elevated toilet seat?? It's all part and parcel of these hip precautions that she will be on for a couple of weeks til the hip has settled down.
