It's snow joke

Well as most of you know the snow has been bad here in the uk, and yesterday I had a phone call to say that my daughter had slipped on the icy pavement and was being taken to hospital with a suspected broken leg.
 I left for the hospital and she was obviously in a lot of pain when I got there, they had to cut her boots and leggings off and she was having gas and air and morphine for the pain.
 Apparantly she had just left work and had decided to stop at the shop on her way home and that's when she slipped. I spent most of yesterday afternoon at the hospital didn't get home till midnight, and am back there now as she may have to have an operation.
 She has broken her leg in two places the tibia and her ankle and it's not as straight forward as a normal break as it's called a spiral fracture where the bone snaps then twists so it's harder to put back together. There talking about putting a metal rod and plate in their to alighn the bones. Il keep you all posted
