Gosh, Pam, I'm sorry to hear this. You have been through so much. I pray for strength and healing for you, and that you will be without a walker and standing strong and smiling at your son's wedding.

Sorry to hear of this Pam - You certainly didn't need this (who does?).
Rest up and try to regain your strength as you look forward to your son's wedding - something happy to focus on!!

all the best

Sorry to hear that, Pam.

Your story reads very similar to my Father-in-law's. He had refused to use the walker and cane after his initial surgery/rehabilitation several years ago. So he fell again and had to have another surgery.

It's really hard to find the right balance. He 'only' lost his footing when he was in a hurry. Now he's much more careful and would hold on to the wall or 'something'.

Hope you feel better soon.
