Re: Three Screws and a plate
It's the "uneventful" bit that concerns me as I look out of the window on a bright, crisp winter's morning thinking I could be out there in the fresh air.Originally posted by Skeptika23 View Post
But yes, I hope for a recovery without complication-events.
The risk is that the blood supply to the ball of the hip will not restore itself and that bone will die. Then it's a full hip replacement. I have been told my fracture was not right across so there is a good chance of regeneration.
I will have to be patient. My fitness is a very great advantage - discharged the day after major surgery!

Amusing anecdote:
The physiotherapist is running through her list of routine questions -
"How far can you walk." (Before accident)
I raise my shoulders and turn up my palms
"20 miles?"
"I put down one mile", she said!
Of course the majority of their patients are geriatrics.
When I was in the Army (up till last year) all the broken bones were down to sports injuries, or these days war-zone injuries.

I hope this goes by quickly for you. You might find something new you like doing to help pass the time.
I am most impressed by your attitude.
Despite what has been thrown at you, you are keeping it in perspective. I think your positive attitude is going to make all this go by easier and quicker.
Take care and keep us updated.
