    I am now allowed 50% weight bearing with walker or crutches. I can go to a cane the second week of January and see the Doc again on 01/23. Last X-Ray still looked the same with possible healing of the fractures. Hopefully next time he will see some encouraging repair. I continue to insure a...

    I didn't use my superpower scars to frighten any of the trick or treaters. Stitches came out yesterday and I finally can shower. The surgeon is optimistic about the outcome. There still is a lot of bone healing that needs to take place and his words were nature and time. Three more weeks of...

    Fractured, you should just have a zipper! (liked the Brooklyn accent, reminded me of home). Doing PT at home, have an appointment with the Ortho on Halloween to have stitches out and see what he plans for my progress. I have been laying in bed about an hour a day to try and get flat and...

    Update, CT Scan of the femur on August 22 showed no healing of the femur fractures. I had a visit with my ortho in early Sept and he recommended I might want to get a second opinion. I had be researching for a ortho who would fix others difficult cases. I found a surgeon in Tampa who runs a...

    No talk at all about putting in my new part since the CT scan revealed the fractures aren't healing. Trying to get a bone growth stimulator but insurance won't cover it until after 90 days of no healing. Waiting on a call from the company that supplies them to see if I can cover the cost...

    I had a CT scan this Sunday. It has been two months. The report stated that there isn't any appreciable healing. My ortho is out of town and his stand-in thinks this is fine and would not expect to see anything to speak of until about the twenty week mark. The PA in the office texted my...

    I had followup visit yesterday. Doc liked the X-Ray and wants a CT Scan. Based on the findings, if positive, he will schedule a date. He thought about four of five weeks from now.:loll:

    July 4th Independence Day has a new meaning for me. My course of antibiotics ended and on the 5th my pick line came out. Glad that part is over. we had several mess ups with the weekly blood tests. One time they mislabeled the vials and that negated the results as my first initial was wrong...

    THR Broken femur during THR

    Hope you are getting better. I had a similar experience during a revision. My femur had really bonded with my stem and the surgery to remove it took nine hours and my femur fractured in multiple places. I think I will get a side job serving as a TV antenna. Best of luck. Let us know how you...

    I don't have any tattoos but if I were to get one maybe a matching pair, one on each leg would be a good conversation starter .
