Hope your mums ok, sure you’ll look after her really well, 4 broken toes are bad enough, but could have been so much worse, take care

Thanks mate
She's a toughie! You know how mums are, fiercely independent, sometimes to their own detriment. This is forcing her to take it easy until she heals, and she's actually doing much better in general as she's unable to overdo it with her leg in a long boot. She'll recover and hopefully take it more easily from here on. Hmmmm .. we'll see LOL
