What a crappo year! Early May I have my left hip replaced, no biggie. Father's Day 6/19, I fall in the living room while moving a couch and get a spiral, displaced fracture in my left leg. 9/4, on my birthday (71) after rehabbing 2 1/2 months and my leg is not feeling so hot. I take a step on it and it feels squishy and my leg shortens about 2" and has a major bow in it. 9/6 and I am under the knife again. The leg has not started to heal and the internal metal fixation devices have either broken or dislodged. As I write this from the hospital, I am looking at 2-3 months of non-weight bearing and another 4 months of general rehab to come close to normal. They think an infection may have kept it from healing right but they are not sure. I have six weeks of pic line antibiotics to look forward to.
But hell, I just thought I'd try and cheer you all up. Anyway, there are lots of peeps out there worse off, so I'll just sweat my way through it. I will probably be on here a lot so I hope you guys keep it interesting.
Femurly Yours, Fred
