Ealing Hospital

This is not our usual type of holiday or travel destination, however ........
Mary returned to New Zealand for two weeks to visit her sister Ann, who is seriously ill. On the return trip, her plane hit clear air turbulence between Auckland and Hong Kong. As she was standing at the time, she fell. The result was a broken fibula and snapped tendon. Rather than have this treated in Hong Kong, she continued on to London. Here, she was transferred to Ealing Hospital. She has had surgery to insert a metal plate and screws to hold the bones together, and her foot is in a cast. She can walk slowly with aid of crutches. We expect that her mobility should improve a lot when the cast is removed in five weeks time.
