I just got a call from my sister and my mother seems to have broken her neck.
She's fine... she was up and walking straight after.... but she has to be persuaded not to move too much. Also she has to have an operation urgently to fix her neck in place. The worrying thing is it's the top two vertebrae which are particularly vulnerable - brain stem and nerves and all that - so i can't help but fret.
She sounds ok though... my mother is remarkably matter-of-fact about these things.
