Oh Dear Melody,

I do hope you recover quickly. We will be praying for you and hope you give us updates on your condition as often as you can. It will take time and patience, but you are strong and will get through this just fine.

Now I don't feel so alone. Thanks to you all. I am going to pick all your brains. Never fractured a hip before. I HAVE had told us before. Last time was in 1999. They had to put it back in bed as use I could not per. But eventually all was corrected. This time did not go to bathroom for seven days after accident
Had enema. Finally went but now have terrible gas because I cant move. Roll over or do anything. Painful hip with metal rod.

Doing rehab today. Wish I could walk and get the juices moving at again. They will probably put foley back in if I don't per soon. This is a nightmare

Melody

So sorry to hear of your accident. Wishing you a speedy and successful rehab and recovery.

Dear MelodyL, I've been looking for an update from you. I'm hoping 'no news is good news'.

Isn't it always the 'small things' that make life so miserable with a major accident or illness, like the constipation and then the gas? That's not to downplay the misery of a fractured hip.

But for me the very worst 'small thing' is the foley catheter. I had to have surgery three times in 10 months that involved wearing the catheter for a week each time. I felt suicidal by the end of each week. Just trying to sleep through the last day so I could get it out!

Let us know how you're doing at this point. Are you in rehab now?

Hugs, ElaineD

Foley is gone. I peed. Thank god. Also pooped. Am doing rehab. So painful with titanium rod in my hip. Hard to learn to use muscles again. Doing OT and PT.

How long is recovery from broken hip?

Melody

Hi. Doing my absolute best to be positive. Can't wait till this is over. Thanks to all of you for kind words.
