Not again….
Almost exactly one year ago, my wife fell off a chair and broke her right hip. 911, ambulance, trauma center, and partial hip replacement. Three days in the hospital, 2 weeks in a rehab place… she got lots of PT, but her walking never really returned to her usual pace.
This past Tuesday, she fell again… waited until this morning, when her pain increased and couldn’t walk at all, to call 911. After three x-rays and a CT scan, she has a fracture of her left greater trochanter… have to wait until tomorrow for an MRI to see if the crack is deep enough to require a surgical nail or not.
The only ray of sunshine here is our good insurance. Last years event was billed at about $42,000… it only cost us $1700 out of pocket. This years event is likely to be a little less.
