" I fell this morning and broke my foot. After 8 hours in the hospital meeting with an orthopedic surgeon Wednesday to find out about surgery. They are talking about surgery and putting screws in the bone. I will try to check in regularly."
Wishing you a speedy recovery dd.

Hope you mend OK. I'm still on physio from a broken elbow, pugs is right, it takes longer to recover from these things. I am not on good terms with gravity these days.

UP DATE..... WE NEED AN UP DATE.... Sooooo..... How you getting along with your hoof repair and healing ?? Well, I hope... Take care.. UPDATE.....Still balancing around on crutches and a walking boot. Swelling and bruising subsiding but no healing of the bone yet. Went for third round of xrays and the surgeon is monitoring that bone lines up well. Will go back in 4 weeks for additional xrays to monitor that bone as it heals. If the bone does not line up well then they will insert a screw. Torn meniscus is also healing in the other knee. May require surgery at a later date but also adopting a wait and see outlook. Thanks for asking

No bone healing after 20 days? Is that typical?

No bone healing after 20 days? Is that typical? Some other circumstances that slow that healing down. Age, being a woman and past radiation and chemotherapy in my history all work against me. He is watching and monitoring very closely. The next xray appt will hopefully show healing . Fingers crossed anyway.

Hope it all works out ok for you.
I've got a mate who has been limping around in a cast/boot/cast/boot etc for almost a year. He's over it!
