My grandmother fell and broke her hip bone she can't sit or stand now. The local village doctor said her blood level is only 23 and surgery might not help because of her age. What's the best way to increase her blood levels and help heal her broken hip bone at home?

Raise hemoglobin with iron-rich food, supplements, and transfusions if needed; consult ortho about non-surgical hip support options.
