I thought I broke it?
well, I didn't. Once I got my Reynolds in check, my toe was fine.

Yay, right? Just in time for my new, big dawg, job. Which, is amazing.... its hard, important, rewarding,....I really for the past three weeks thought stuff was perfect.

Then the other shoe dropped (pun intended). My son tripped me yesterday (on accident) and in some miraculously- freakish movement on the way to the ground, I fractured/broke my fucking femur. Compound fracture.

MY FEMUR. I have never felt pain like that. It was worse than getting to 9cm, unmedicated, during labor. BC at least then I got epi, which numbed me from the neck down.... They won't do it for a broken femur, trust, I asked!!!!

I did get put to sleep so they could put a rod in it. I'm supposed to start PT today so I can learn to move enough to get out of the hospital. I have no idea how I am going to be able to go to work tomorrow. My leg feels like it had a rod it, it's freaking heavy.

I knew things were too good.
But really, a freak accident?
And it's my husband's birthday!
This sucks

No. Way.

I am so sorry

My dad broke his femur sliding into home base, and still has a rod in there. He was in the hospital for traction for a LONG time --- I'm really hoping recovery and treatment has changed since then? Are you able to be at home and get around?

I think this may be one of those things that is harder to recover from when you are older?

I have no cast or traction....but I do believe the rod is forever. I've always joked that I wanted "legs off steel", but this is not what I had in mind.

I'm about to get out of bed. Hopefully will get discharged today but Sundays seem to be useless here.

I just can't stop thinking about the pain. I never knew something could hurt so bad.

He was in his late 20s, and 30yrs later still has the rod - thankfully it sounds like your stay will be very different. Hope they can get you out of there sooner than later today.

I can't even imagine how excruciating

. So awful
