Hi, ChefSuccess folks,

I have really missed being part of this forum.

I fell and broke my leg in two places (large bone, just above my ankle; small bone, just below my knee) March 31st; had surgery April 2nd (titanium rod, with four incision sites); got out of hospital April 4th and into rehab that evening. I got out of inpatient rehab April 15h and started outpatient rehab April 21st. I hope to finish that up later this month.

I am getting around well on my walker. The orthopedic surgeon says he's never seen someone get around so well after breaking a tibia!

Anyway, thank God for all the blessings this fall has brought to me!

I hope you heal well and quickly! I broke my leg in four places several years ago - also had the joy of a titanium rod. I kept the rod after they took it out of my leg... I guess to show others the risk of roller-blading, LOL!I ended up having to wear a bone growth stimulator - my leg wouldn't heal... sounds like you're well on your way to healing though!I'll keep you in my prayers!
 
all I can say is OUCH! Glad to hear you are doing well.
 
I will keep you in my prayers, I thought shattering my wrist was bad. I am glad you are healing well.
 
Did you say you broke your fibula too?OUCH! Glad you are getting around better!
 
I'm sorry about the severe break and the surgery! Praise God you are walking around and healing so quickly!

Get well soon and when you go back to work and back to PC do well...just don't do so well that you "break a leg!" LOL
 
Ow! Sounds painful. Glad you're doing well.
