I fell and broke my femur
I am so discouraged! I fell - just went down so fast I don't know if I lost my balance or tripped. Broke my right femur. Luckily I'd already had the rod in place so it's not as "big" a deal as it would have been. I'm back to being homebound with a walker. Can't drive. Have to let it heal. The rod lets me have weight on it but it isn't steady and my balance is so much worse. One step forward 3 steps back it seems. I was just starting to feel stronger after the rads and now this. What a bummer. I have only until Dec. 10 to be in shape for my son's wedding. I won't be dancing but pray I won't need the walker. I don't have much pain - ibuprofin takes are of it so that is good. This isn't as bad as a bad cancer report but yet another challenge to deal with. Thanks for your support on this. Pam
