All systems are go!
The nurse going over the discharge orders kept apologizing that they were rushing us out, but Lisa was ready to get home and so was I.
We found a walker on Facebook from a former coworker of Lisa’s at Wilmington Health (Thanks Pat Hooper!)
The PA was kind enough to show us the X-rays and explain how the rod/screws work. He also said that the reason they recommended the repair was that the bone was broken like a tree limb with enough of it still attached so that there is a good chance the blood flow will be fine. “We’ve repaired the bone, but God has to make it heal.”
Structurally, the bone is fine and she lost maybe a millimeter of height, but it’s now a matter of the physical therapy doing its thing to get the muscles to do their thing again.
Lisa is sleeping now the uninterrupted slumber of a person that doesn’t need their vitals taken every two hours and I’m poking around the house so she’ll be able to get around the house safely.
