Nannie's Broken Ankle

Well, yesterday Nannie and Auntie Colleen were outside working and Nannie told Auntie Colleen she was feeling dizzy and was going inside. Colleen watched her walk in and then as she got to the top of the stairs she started to crumple. Colleen got there in time so she wouldn't hit her head but she twisted her ankle as she fell and it turns out she has two small fractures - one on the outide bone on both sides of her right ankle. They also found she had a urinary infection which is possibly why she passed out. They kept her in the hospital overnight and tonight Colleen and I took her home. She has a cast that goes up to her knee and isn't supposed to walk on it much but she keeps forgetting she even hurt it or was in the hospital at all, so keeps trying to walk around. She's in good spirits but the nurses were really glad when Colleen & I arrived. It turns out that she was trying to help them and wasn't happy when they took her stuff away (no telling what her "stuff" was), also when Auntie Colleen came there was a nurse telling her she needed to stay in her room and Nannie was trying to pay her to let her out!

I'm glad she's okay. How long does the cast stay on?

So she has a huge cast on and doesn't remember hurting her ankle? Good thing she is ok but I hope that she doesn't hurt it again by walking on it or trying to take the cast off.
