Thank you all so much for your best wishes, it cheered mum up to know kind people were wishing her well. She's still in a lot of pain, a new cast on today and we are getting our heads round how we'll manage back at home for 8 weeks without her putting any weight on her leg - she can do lots of knitting for the grand kids! My parents were looking forward to a 6 week trip of a life time to visit family out in Australia in early March so this is a disappointing set back. I hope the police can track down the driver. Thankfully there were some great people who helped mum after the accident and kept her safe until the emergency services arrived - very grateful to them.
