Bitter, a good friend had a very similar injury falling on ice. Surgery went well; she got around pretty well within a few days on a knee-cart thing, and the pain decreased significantly pretty quick. She has no limp or limitations, aside from occasional minor arthritis pain.
The doctor emphasized that much of the outcome depends on how well you attack the rehab.

Sometimes spiral fractures can be set without surgery. It takes longer to heal but i have a friend that had a tibia spiral and did not do surgery. But cast for 6 weeks, maybe surgery is faster.
In any case, sorry about that, let me know if I can bring. a scrapple casserole or something to make you feel better.
Contrary to what the RINO hunters think, McConnell is no RINO or liberal, he is a fierce defender of the institution of the Senate from a historical perspective that is probably obsolete now. He viewed Trump as a disruptor, which of course he is. McConnell fought fiercely to confirm EVERY conservative judge put forth, and if not for him we might have a 5-4 liberal SC instead of 6-3 conservative (if he had allowed Garland to be confirmed and not pushed ACB through in the waning hours of Trump’s first term). That is his greatest legacy.
Btw, I posted some bait yesterday
“We need more Mitch McConnell’s and fewer Rand Pauls”
Bitter did you get a second opinion on surgery. Spiral fractures sometimes don’t need surgery if there are no splinters. I say this because my friend was told she needed surgery in the emergency room but later she consulted with an orthopedic surgeon and he said he would try to get it to heal naturally and it worked.
“Non-surgical treatments are often the first line of defense for less severe spiral fractures. These methods aim to immobilize the bone and allow it to heal naturally. Casting: For many spiral fractures, doctors will apply a cast to immobilize the bone. The cast keeps the bone in place and prevents further injury.”
Breaking: District judge rules that Trump must continue the presidential custom of falling on stairs and stages. Biden started this practice and Trump must continue it.
Minnesota, Republican State Representative Steve Drazkowski and has the RECEIPTS: affidavits, eviction notices, documents…
Demanding for the arrest of Ilhan Omar for the crimes of federal tax fraud, federal immigration fraud, federal student loan fraud, and state violations of perjury, bigamy, incest, kickbacks and acts of campaign fraud abuse from east coast to the Mississippi River, Boston, Washington, New York, Chicago and Florida.
“She @Ilhan was found guilty of the violations by the Minnesota campaign finance board and ordered to return those funds. Ms @IlhanMN appears to be a serial career criminal.”
…Ilhan Omar, House Committee on Foreign Affairs. I’m also asking Congresswoman Crait to initiate an ethics investigation into Congresswoman Omar because of questions about federal tax fraud. federal immigration fraud, federal student loan fraud, and state violations of perjury, bigamy, kickbacks, in acts of campaign fraud abuse in Boston, Washington, New York, Chicago, and Florida. There are also violations of state ethics or of the Minnesota House Ethics Rules regarding colleges for speeches she gave while she was impartial control (sic) their budgets as a member of the House higher education committee in both 2017 and 2018.
She was found guilty of the violations by the Minnesota Campaign Finance Board three weeks ago in order to return those funds on June 6th. She appears to be a serial career criminal and should not have access to our nation’s highest secrets and intelligence.”
Thank you. My first thought was to rub some dirt on it and get back out there. The angle of my leg and the shooting pain when I tried to stand said no.
Bitterlaw, I’m sorry to hear that. Hope for your complete healing. If you need a good ‘slip and fall’ attorney I know of one out here since my daughter had a ‘trip and fall’ at a business not too long ago.
I’ve been waiting to here from Rubio regarding Zelenskyy and now he has delivered. It appears that all (Rubio, Vance, Waltz….) are on the same page with Trump on this.
Wishing you an amazing recovery Bitter – speedy and with little pain. As others have already said — stay within the guidelines of what you can do following surgery. Physical therapy will also be an important factor in having no lingering side effects.
So sorry to hear of your fall and it being so bad. Godspeed in your successful surgery and recovery. I feel sorry for your wife who will have to tend to you and your needs.
“I thought this country was built by Europeans, escaping living under the rule of a King, to establish a New World governed by the people. Currently we have a president who calls Himself. Our King. If this is a joke ,I’m not laughing”
Also, I thought Biden said this country was built by slaves and illegal immigrants.
Looks like Zelenskyy didn’t help himself with Trump during the campaign. Then, after Trump wins, he pulls this stuff. How anyone could think this is a smart way to play his hand is puzzling.
From the link….
“Mere weeks before Election Day, the Biden-Harris administration flew Zelenskyy to the United States at taxpayer expense, strategically landing him in the critical swing state of Pennsylvania. There, he toured a munitions plant, sending a clear message: billions in aid to Ukraine means jobs for Pennsylvanians.
Some saw it as blatant election interference, as Zelenskyy was effectively campaigning with the incumbent administration. In an interview with The New Yorker, Zelenskyy attacked Trump as clueless on Ukraine and went even further, calling JD Vance “dangerous” and “too radical.” ”
He seems to not understand that he’s not automatically entitled to US help.
FOX: “The DOJ may be releasing the list of Jeffrey Epstein’s clients. Will that really happen?” @AGPamBondi: “It’s sitting on my desk right now to review. That’s been a directive by President Trump.”
I’ve never written to you before, but I really need your advice. I have suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me. The usual signs. Phone rings but if I answer, the caller hangs up. My wife has been going out with “the girls” a lot recently although when I ask their names she always says, “Just some friends from work, you don’t know them.”
I always try to stay awake to look out for her coming home, but I usually fall asleep. Anyway, I have never approached the subject with my wife. I think deep down I just didn’t want to know the truth, but last night she went out again and I decided to really check on her. Around midnight, I decided to hide in the garage behind my golf clubs so I could get a good view of the whole street when she arrived home from a night out with “the girls.”
It was at that moment, crouching behind my clubs, that I noticed that the graphite shaft on my driver appeared to have a hairline crack right by the clubhead.
Is this something I can fix myself or should I take it back to the pro shop where I bought it?
