No, Fractured femur. The orthopod was using the broach down her femur during THR and there was a longitudinal split in her femur. SOOOO she's in considerably increased pain over what I would expect, due to slight motion at fracture. She's Toe touch WB only for 6 to 8 weeks. Then she's allowed to start rehab

Thank you for your Prayers however. Take care, Mark

Barbara had a total hip replacement in April 2022. No fractured femur, thankfully. Nevertheless, it's still been a slow and trying recovery as the rest of her body adjusts to the change in bio-mechanics. She is doing better now than before the surgery and she doesn't regret having it done. What a medical adventure to have during the retirement years! We hope and pray for God's choicest blessings to be upon both of you.
