Condolences, hope all turns out well.
Us older folks take longer to heal.

Nasty. I hope the missus has a speedy recovery.

Never let them know how this happened, she'll have to do 30 courses every year...

Sorry to hear about your wife. Hope she's not in quite as much pain.
My wife has a condition which means she has collapsed a couple of times and it's not clear why. She was taken by ambulance (with lights & sirens) to hospital once while she was at the local doctors' surgery and collapsed!
The most recent time, she hit her head so NHS Direct (general telephone medical assistance) advised going to A&E (ER). We were there from about 6:30pm to around 4am before we saw a doctor. She's now on the "Urgent" list to see a specialist... since last September!

My best to her healing quickly. She is having a "gnarly" time.
Knackered is interesting description. My Father used say he had "gnarly" day.
At my previous work, "slip, trip and fall" were #1 causes of accidents which also applies to home.

Hopefully she recovers completely. What really concerns me is the two-hour response time for emergency services. That's criminal.

I agree - but they are all queued up outside A&E waiting to unload patients because there are no free beds in the hospital for the existing patients that need to stay, because Social Services haven't arranged a care plan yet and won't let the ones that are ready to leave the hospital go until they do in case they get sued. And Social Services are under huge pressure which they lump onto the Care workers ... who are under appreciated and overworked.
We used to have an integrated system, but they privatized some of the Care system that was local council run to "make it cheaper" and as usual it became profit seeking instead of client focussed. That filters back up through the system until ambulanced are spending a coupe of shifts sitting outside A&E every day.
The only way to fix this is to get the private companies out of the picture and work out an integrated way to process patients through the system.

I wasn't standing on a chair; Standing is enough of an effort since my stroke, but I was walking and fell against the arm of a chair and broke a rib. That was no fun.My wife called emergency 911 and they got me to a hospital.
I was diagnosed with a fractured rib and pneumonia. Six weeks later I was sent to a nursing home for 3 weeks.
I think chairs should be declared deadly weapons.
