Thanks, hope your mum is too, has she still got the boot on?

Still got the boot on but healing very well. Should be fully healed in a couple of weeks all being well. Hopefully she'll also be used to being more mindful of exactly what she's doing as she moves around. Poor thing .. it has been a hard time. Being old and frail is tough. But they are tough too. They get through it.
