they couldn't even do surgery for 3 days. After surgery, she was 4 days in the hospital, 2 months in a wheelchair, then a month in a long leg cast and another 6 weeks in a short leg, all with crutches. I know the kind of pain she was in, I feel so bad for you.

And the bill? It was over 60k for the hospital and the surgeon.

Honestly, the actual pain hasn't been that bad. The inconvenience of it all has been much worse. - Ender Jan 27, 22:02 6
- Hopping on one foot is very unsafe in your condition. Also, it sounds like you have an intolerance/allergy to Percoset. - Trish Jan 28, 00:37 1
  - For the record, the hopping around on one foot thing is being done with a walker. -- nm - Ender Jan 28, 09:15
- and speaking of keeping food down, watch out for Percocet! it makes some people puke. I'm one of them, it was awful. -- nm - loosilu Jan 27, 23:05 1
  - Yeah, they mentioned that. I think the puking was actually dehydration. - Ender Jan 27, 23:55
- let it heal properly, don't mess around. -- nm - loosilu Jan 27, 23:04
- I became a huge proponent of ADA guidelines after being on crutches for a couple of months. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jan 27, 22:04
