my gran's in hospital and i'm very worried and scared

[louise0501]

hey, last night my Gran had a fall at her house and she was taken to hospital and she has broken her leg and they opperating on her tomorrow. i'm so so worried about her. and she's very frail and i'm not sure she will survive an operation. i'm feeling really anxious and i don't quite know what to do with myself. any advice? is it possible for an old frail lady to survive an operation?
please reply ASAP
Luv louise

absolutely it is possible even likely. this is very minor surgery and she should be fine. just think about going there tomorrow or the next day and seeing her smiling face again.

thats what i'm trying to do but its so difficult, i just keep thinking about all the negatives and all the bad things that could go wrong. she's gotta have a metal plate put into he leg or something, i don't know much about the opperation.

the worst thing you can do is find out about the operation or statistics or anything like that. just think positively (I know easier said than done) and the outcome will be positive.

Hi Louise

I'm sorry to hear about your gran's fall. Try not to worry too much if you can, she will need you when she comes out of the op. The doctors will have assessed her situation and determined her general health etc. They would not give her a general anesthetic if there was a suggestion it was unsafe for her. There are other things they can do in those cases.

Operations are very safe these days and things rarely go wrong. When they do it usually major op's and they would make you fully aware of any risks before hand.

Of course there are never any guarantees with any proceedure but they are very knowledgable and experience in operating on the elderly, so try to trust that they know what they are doing.

Keep us posted.
