Re: [QUAD-L] fractured femur

[River Wolfe]

Well, I was kinda embarassed to mention it since it was only 12 wks ago that I broke my tibia on the left side.  Both accidents were due to my German shepard pup (86 lbs 1 yr old) pulling me out of the chair.  Did I learn my lesson?  yes, I wear my seatbelt ALL OF THE TIME NOW.  BTW, he's in SD training too. no mention of the bone growth stimulator yet.   Also, the FX was a tiny bit displaced and about 1/8 distance between the bone in the FX, not sure why he never set it????  it's 2 1/2 inches above my knee.

Have they consider using am electric stim to promote bone growth, or not.  Keep us up, ok W       In a message dated 5/31/2006 8:11:03 AM Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I'm in a brace that locks and I have it pretty snug on my thigh.  Ideally, it would be extended straight out all of the time.  That's just not practical for me, WC has no foot rest for this and I couldn't get around at all.  THere is some bone growth at the tip of the break after 6 wks.  Sllllloooooowwwww it goes.   I'm not transferring into the van seat to drive, that's pretty hard on the leg.  No driving is a real PIA.
