Hi all, my mom called the other day, and let me know she has a hairline fracture in her L femur. I don't know the location, they sent her home with crutches and a immoblizer, and she's got a appt for friday with the ortho. I'm thinking casting with limited activity for 8-12 weeks, but who knows until they look at it. Just need some prayers that she won't need any type of surgery. Thanks.
Putting mom on the work prayer chain... Not health advice... just generally hair line fractures don't need surgery... just generally... thoughts to keep you thinking positively. I wish her a speedy recovery:redbeathe
