Glasgow pensioner left a 'prisoner in own home' after breaking hip on 'loose' slab
A pensioner from Glasgow has been left housebound after she stepped on a loose slab in the city centre and broke her hip.
"It's always get up, get dressed, get out, go for your breakfast. At 9.30am I'd be in the city centre. That morning there were quite a lot of people on the bus. "The ambulance scooped me up and it was half an hour back before I was in hospital. We arrived at half 10 but I wasn't taken up to a ward until 1.50pm.Following the incident she has been left feeling like those living in the neighbouring Barlinnie Prison.
"My son brought my bed downstairs to the living room. The therapists came recently to check the stairs outside and they said there is no way I could go out until a rail is put up."I am waiting for someone to now look at my shower because carers have looked at it and told me I can't use it." She said: "When I got the phone call from Digby Brown to say they couldn't proceed because Glasgow City Council don't have proof that it was reported before I fell and it would be thrown out of court.
