Take care! Glad you are doing so well,

Hi Nancy & thankyou.
I know a little of a similar long story, as the fellow directly accross from me in hospital had his femur bone fractured whilst having revision surgery, they had his leg in traction and was unable to move anywere from his bed, 3 weeks he had already been laying there with another 3 weeks to go for the fracture to heal before finishing his replacement protheses.
Since my leg swelled up i have been taking it very carefully, i still do some walking but no were near the amount i was doing, the very last thing i want, is to go back in hospital again.
take care
Brian
