"Charging around again on her walker like a good 'un! Hope I'll have her grit and energy when I'm 94! LEGEND."
Joan was looked after by the nursing staff at Woking Community Hospital and St Peter's Hospital in Chertsey.
Ruth said the whole ordeal had certainly shifted her perspective on life, as her mother was sadly unable to partake in usual Christmas festivities last December. At the time, Ruth explained: "No dancing in my kitchen peeling the veg for my darling Mum this Christmas.
"This time last year she fell and broke her hip but recovered well...she's a very strong woman so I'm sure she'll recover from this too. Put's life and what's important into perspective eh?"
The heartfelt update comes just months after Ruth herself faced a health issue, having previously revealed to her followers that she'd been housebound for several days.
"I've had a couple of days at home with the lurgy but feeling better today so I ventured out for a stroll with Maggie," the 64-year-old said, before commenting: "Nice to get some fresh air."
Ruth's health struggles also follow her recent split from ex co-star Eamonn Holmes. The couple were married for 14 years before announcing their separation last May.
