You need to add dog treats

It took months to heal and it's left me with a bit of a limp, and my balance is not good now. But I carry on the best I can and it's mostly as normal as it was before the fall. (Bloody black ice)  I was given a bone scan when I was in the hospital and yes, I had brittle bone disease, been on strengthening pills ever since, to be reviewed after five years.

Yes, that looks better.  The femur seems to have broken into only two or possibly three pieces, now being joined by a long plate.
Marge's radius was smashed into several pieces and joined similarly, but with a plate perhaps half of that length.  No metal joint needed, though.  She is also osteoporotic and now takes additional medication to try to help it.
Actually, both Marge and I were radiographers and found the X-rays very informative.  Having done similar X-rays on patients, we both found the images shown to us by the surgeon very interesting and so much more so when they are of your own body!  Her plate will remain for life, of course, as I suspect will yours.  Good luck with it!

You need another moggy.
I see ours going out for a you-know-what overnight on our security cameras.  Then, at other times, next-door's grey and white mog comes into the garden.  Fortunately, it avoids our cats and, as far as I can tell, doesn't use our garden as a toilet, fortunately.

Less than two months til Christmas day
No time to save up for what we'll pay

We used to play Hopscotch after school
A stick of chalk to draw with was our tool
We'd knock on doors and run away
And do the same silly things the very next day
And married young- we were such fools

Quote from: Raven on <strong>Today</strong> at 12:27:43 PMPoor Alex I hope she's alright.
Last time I fell I smashed up my leg and was in hospital for 3 weeks, remember? I don't think I'm a wimp......Just unlucky.

Good heavens!  That's going to take some fixing.  They'd have to open you up and do a lot of joining those pieces of bone to that metal joint.  I'd say rather longer that three weeks before that lot re-unites permanently.  
I assume all is OK now, hopefully.  Good luck, and be careful.

Quote from: klondike on <strong>Today</strong> at 12:47:40 PMFalls can be very bad news as we get older. Probably worse for women who are more prone to osteoporosis I think. One of my wife's grandmothers ended up in nursing home because of one.

Yes.  When Marge fell recently, only a short distance, she smashed up her left wrist.  That required an open operation, including a metal plate to join the end(s) of her radius.  She is still unable to move her wrist (she's left-handed) to anything like the extents of her right wrist, but progress is being made.
She has since been confirmed as having osteoporosis, so she's going to have to take much more care generally.  She now walks about completely covered in foam rubber!

I've put up a copy of the forum on the new server. I'll be using it as a devopment server in future so I can test stuff without breaking the real site and doing something later so I don't get confused about which I'm on but they look the same right now or at least should.

I'll be messing around on it to see if anything breaks.

Can you take a look and mooch around to see if you spot anything that doesn't work please

I feel that a gift will be presented to the umbrella team, specifically a pen set which KC used when signing stuff shortly after mummy passed away.  It will be inserted somewhere the sun don't shine.
