More relaxed attire accepted now and the Rossi's last two years.

I got there at 5.15pm, and even though she didn't make a fuss and just wanted to be helped up, I rang 000 anyway I didn't want to take the risk as she couldn't put any weight on it.
000 told me it wont be a lights and sirens emergency but they will send the next available ambo to us. 9pm comes around, and still no ambo. I rang up and asked what was happening as she couldn't move from her chair and was in pain. They said it would be at least another 4 hours from that phone call before they could get to her.
I told them we can't wait that long and will attempt to put her in our car and take her to Flinders. They agreed and wished us luck and if we need to cancel the ambo let them know.
We are literally about to pick her up when my phone rang, and it was 000 telling me they changed their mind and made it a priority call and an ambo will be there soon. That took about 20 min before they came after that. They were worried about us damaging her further if the hip was broken.
Ambos were great and so apologetic for a f..king mess that is not their fault. The reason for the delay was all the ambos are ramped waiting for beds at the hospitals.
Anyway the xray showed a fractured femur where it inserts into the hip joint, and she needs a partial hip replacement today. If we had moved her, we would have injured her further.

My mother has a monitor that detects falls and the monitoring mob can speak to her though the device around her neck, call us to see if we can get there and/or ambos if necessary. If she isnt near her phone it isnt a problem. Needs internet though.

I'm ok. Just trying to get my head around the next 4-8 weeks as she lives alone. I've got a brother and sister so between the three of us we'll be able to look after her.
