Removed to change PS: They usually don't tell you that if not healing apace, then start mentioning "surgery" which happened 5 frustrating weeks or so into break. That's when started specific broken bone nutrition and taking fizzy calcium as absorbs more readily into system. Look into Flower Essence practitioner, too if possible.

Carol, so sorry about your leg, I've also had a break and went through that with the UCSF Sports Medicine practice. Can't emphasize enough the difference optimal NUTRITION makes. Google 'best nutrition for bone fractures" etc....and cut paste whatever it is you'll really like and eat and then cut all else out. I can tell you IT WORKS. I'm health oriented and daily exercise. But it's particular diet you need. I didn't start mine til late into bone break when getting frustrated--lived in San Francisco--you can imagine hobbling the hills on crutches. Do check it out. I tried to cut and paste here but was too long and wouldn't let me. All best. Hugs.

I have visited Fontainebleau and saw her bedroom there.<br /><br />My instructions when I had my cast was NOT to stick anything down inside it to scratch BECAUSE our skin would be dry and sensitive. I had regular 2-week visits with Dr. and each time my cast was taken off (oooh - it felt wonderful to have my wrist and forearm free - if only for minutes!) for xrays, viewing by Dr. and then a new oftentimes smaller, lighter cast was put on - but mine was wrist break. Now is velcro/foam removable brace (5 weeks from break). Time did go by quickly. Keep smiling...you have many friends wishing we could be there for you and many who must be there for you, too.<br /><br />Mary in OregonMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04911284607089608538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-14080866524180764852014-06-01T17:16:27.649-04:002014-06-01T17:16:27.649-04:00So glad you are posting even with a broken leg.

I haven't had a broken leg but I have had 2 total knee replacements. 6 weeks does seem to be the magic number of days it takes our bodies to heal and then it's time for rehab. Take the time to paint lots of your fabulous still life paintings and scenes from all your wonderful photos. It will go quickly if you stay busy.Joyfulartisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01175430279264778324noreply@blogger.com
