JimF-LowBari Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Wasn't going to post but just bummed about the whole thing. Thursday night my wife took a bad fall in the house and broke her shin bone.... in a few places.... For those of you who know or have met Kris know she has had left leg problems for some time now. Problems have led to operations and spending time flat on her butt, in a cast or immobilizer or using a walker or wheelchair. If you've seen my posts recently she even went to DCA Weekend using a transport wheelchair so she wouldn't miss everything. (And that was after she made sure I would be OK pushing her around.) For the latest mess, she was operated on and the pieces have been attached to a plate and mostly it's a waiting period for the pieces to reknit. Currently she is in the hospital and should be at a rehab for a few days until it's safe for her to return home. Then it's absolutely no weight on the leg until it's totally healed. Anywhere from 8-12 weeks, so back to hopping with the walker. Of course we're both upset but her spirits seem better than expected. Just letting our friends know and any thoguhts/prayers are appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
