I'm home from the hospital. [View all]

Had surgery to put my extremely fractured wrist back together. Have s cast and a splint. The doctors believe my fractured patella will heal by itself in about 6 weeks. I can walk with an immobilizer brace, but walking without bending your knee is a challenge.
My husband will have to do some cooking and has to inject me 2x a day in my belly with a blood thinner.
Had some fun joking with the nurses every time they gave me Tylenol.
Thanks for the good wishes. Keep them coming please!
PT and OT start tomorrow.
