One broken hip and three weeks in hospital later. I had the operation in Darlington Memorial Hospital and then two weeks recuperation in The Friary Hospital in Richmond. Wonderful care throughout. I came home yesterday.
Thank you, you lovely people, for all the cards, letters, e mails and phone calls- and some lovely warm socks from New Zealand - I am truly touched by your kindness. Hopefully I will be back within the next day or two. Meanwhile - thanks and love true bloggy friends.
