She had surgery tonight. Apparently the break was clean, which I think is a good thing. But I heard she was in excruciating power last night for several hours after it happened.

Thanks for the shared experiences.

My mom has been through knee and hip replacement surgery. It is a long process, but if you're consistent with your physical therapy, you will recover well.

Not just below the hip, but I shattered my tibia and fibula at the ankle when I was expecting our daughter. It required surgery and recovery was a bitch and a half. I still walk with a limp if I'm not paying attention. I'm sure it's easier if its not at a joint though, and also easier without implants.

I hope your sister-in-law has good pain meds and a lot of help, sending the good thoughts.

Broken leg recovery

Do any of you have any experience with recovering from a broken leg recovery for a serious break just below the hip? My sister in law broke her leg last night, and I'm worried that it's going to be a really tough recovery.
