THE TELEGRAPH: Baroness Thatcher, the former Prime Minister, has returned to her London home after 17 days in hospital with a broken arm.
The former Tory party leader smiled broadly and waved enthusiastically with her right arm to a small crowd who had gathered outside her Belgravia house.
Lady Thatcher, 83, whose left arm is in a sling after she fractured her upper shoulder after a heavy fall, underwent surgery at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital after the injury failed to heal.
Even though the operation, involving the insertion of a surgical pin, was a success, doctors insisted on keeping Lady Thatcher in hospital for observation.
Among the regular visitors was her son, Sir Mark, who saw her in hospital before she returned home. Doctors have urged Lady Thatcher to scale back on her engagements and to rest as much as possible to ensure there are no complications with the fracture. >>> Andrew Pierce | Monday, June 29, 2009
