Heal up, Budman - it might be a good time to get a bone density scan. My primary care person had me do one this year and we found out I have osteoporosis - she prescribed some meds that are supposed to keep me safer...
I might have one. A little thigh massage would be awesome.Get a damn Theragun (brand name), it was invented by a motorcyclist recovering from injuries. There are knockoffs too.

18 year old single malt is a known antidote.Ask your doc about what you can do about preventing blood clots. The inactivity you are now facing can be the cause of strokes and heart attacks. Those problems can be common with people recovering from a hip break.


Probably once I get moved. Stanford is trying to kick my ass out.When can you have visitors?
Sorry to hear about the Mrs. I hope I am good to go after 6 month. A year would kill me.Budman sorry to hear about your fall. Stairs are treacherous things. My wife had the same kind of break when she tried to get out of my truck last year and her foot got tangled in a blanket and she fell the 2 feet straight to the concrete on her hip. It's been almost a year now and she is up and around but she still has pain in her leg but that is probably due to the dogs bulldozing her randomly so it has slowed down her healing process. My step daughter uses her as an example of how to not be lazy to her patients in the rehab facility she works at because she was on a cane in like 2 weeks and walking without one in about 3 months where the peeps in her facility are still in chairs 3 months later.
Stay strong and do the PT and you will be up and around in no time.
Damn buddy, that must have hurt like a bastard. Sorry to hear the bad news, glad you’re on the mend. Take good care!
