Lumpectomy and a broken leg

I am due to have a lumpectomy very soon. I sustained a broken fibula 2 weeks ago, now have a cast and unable to walk independently, or get out of the house. I live in the living room. I am booked in for day surgery and have concerns. I am dependent on my partner to move me although I can use a frame for about 5 metres. I can't get up from my sofa/bed without my frame/commode. Every appointment I have to book an ambulance too. I am worried that my partner will find the extra care needed for me immediately after surgery will be very difficult for a 74 year old.

  • The hospital should not discharge you until you can be safely discharged - this is not only about your health but about what help you may need from carers and about what equipment you need.  This may be paid for privately or via the NHS or Social Care.  Anyway, the hospital will be able to advise you.  Hope all goes well.
