My Wife Broke Her Leg
Posted: 01-11-04 17:26pm

She broke her femur (right) Crying
or Very sad

problem is..........That she is in a wheelchair (15years now)

they gave us a brace and told us to return in two weeks, to check and xray again.......

With the break right above the knee any surgery would immobilize her from making any transfers.......

But now that the swelling is going down she can hear and feel and see a "pop" as she shifts her weight...........Is this normal? Will it go away? Or should seek more help?
