legs
My grandma (95 this year) has one leg. She lost her other leg well over 10 years ago, after falling out of bed and breaking it. She had all sorts of treatment for it, but eventually it had to be amputated. She had a false leg for years, but a couple of years ago got sick of it, and these days gets around with just the one leg and an incredibly fast motorised wheelchair.

To get from her flat into town, it's easiest for her to go through the park. The park has a rather nice lake (and when I say nice, I mean green and shit-filled) with swans, and when she went towards it in her chair, she didn't see a foot-high step down and fell over it.
She was rushed to hospital, had the cuts on her face cleaned and stitched up and was sent on her way feeling rather well cared for.

Without anyone noticing that she'd broken her leg too.

She was in hospital for several weeks, then in a halfway care home for a few more, while it healed.
