ok all we are in a room. anyway she is in traction and awaiting WHEN the hip surgery will be. for those that did not get my earlier email (got a few mailer daemons back) ........ Faith fell at 4:30 am Friday the 13th and broke both her shoulder and hip on right side. the hip alone is our first priority. the femur not only fractured and pushed up into the hip socket, hence dislocating, it actually went through to the back side of her pelvis. they will have to bolt a metal plate in to replace the damaged pelvis and keep traction on til the surgery so it stays in place and off of the nerve in the meantime. they say she will likely be on flat bed rest for a good 3 months, with NO weight bearing.
doctor is here, brb
suregery for hip is today - no shoulder surgery needed....he is saying......"operative repair of pelvis. acetabulum fracture" she is the second on list for surgery today.....worse case scenario will be siatic nerve damage - being aware of this they are sure to track this nerve every step of the way so as not to pinch or stretch it- weakening of the leg - due to overweight higher risk of infection but will give anti-biotics before and after, pluses of surgery, will be up and walking sooner -maybe this afternoon even, and expediated recovery time,. 8 or 8:30 this am for surgery. sorry for gramar and spelling errors all, still no sleep for me, will be locking this pc in the car and taking a nap during her surgery." sorry did not get doctors name, the above terms in quotes are the name of the surgery and the type of fracture if anyone has time to look it up, I will take the time myself to do so later, too tired now. more details to come as the day goes on.
