Granted there will be pain, it's a given. Each of us registers pain to different levels and degrees. Some stuff one simply has to endure and it will/may fade, other stuff tho..I think, you, of all folks know how to articulate the difference.
For me, when I'd fractured my knee [later determined to be in 2 places, not one] After the 3 week time....I just knew something wasn't right. It wasn't. Well, HOW can someone w/severe neuropathy[ies] know that? Well, UM, ER, DUH...you just know
You WILL do better at home...think on it! That durned hospital's full of SICK people! IN the meantime, Heaps of super soft fuzzies to soften and 'insulate' your way to having a few parts of a really good life back!
Anticipating updates, please?!?! - j

Yes for sure, your 100 % spot on Joan, my god 2 fractures in one year, thats awful, i hope thats the last of them for you.
If i have any concerns at all, one of the nursing sisters in charge of the ward told me not to hesitate to ring them at any time of the day or night, i can't thank those nurses in that hospital enough for everything they done for me, they were so very nice, caring and very professional, i think it takes a special type of person to do the job they do.
thanks
Brian
