Re: Mum Has Fractured Her Hip

I'm sure that part of her feeling 'down' will be to do with frustration at having to depend on other people to help her with day to day activities.
Your Mum's generation are very independent.......and want to do things for themselves.
I speak from experience here as my Mum is very much the same.
