Admission to Hereford County Hospital on 13th Nov 2014
Replacement right hip/thigh-bone in 1995. Pain started several months ago and had reached crisis point on Weds 5 Nov 2014 when our GP was called. Xray requested.
On Thurs 13 Nov 2014, it was evident by the extra pain that the hip joint and in her right foot had worsened. I phoned the surgery and a GP said call an ambulance. T
Mrs H was admitted to Hereford County Hospital in the night of 13 – 14 Nov 2014 ((( more here))) and was in Hereford Hospital for three weeks then transferred to Ross Community Hospital for two weeks then discharged on 19th December 2014.
04.05.15 Update on Hip and Mobility
Mrs
H is at home and in terrible pain in her hip right
down her right leg to
her feet and she cannot walk at all and has to use a
wheelchair everywhere and
she can hardly stand for more than a minute.
She cannot have surgery on her hip because she has been told
by the GP
that she would not survive the operation so she’ll have to
carry on for the
rest of her life as she is.
Mrs H is extremely dependent on her husband who is her main carer. Carers come every day to help her and on Wednesday afternoons, a carer looks after her so Prof H can have a break. Her two daughters also come and help and sit with her so Prof H can go out.
