So sorry to hear such bad news.......I am sending all the positive vibes I can muster for 4youreyesonly!

Just a little light at the end of the tunnel........My baby sis shattered her right leg and ankle in a car accident and was in the trauma unit for a week just a few years ago. She had pins and a surgical "halo" on for a while when she came home. They used a piece of her hip to replace a crushed bone. She is no worse for the wear from that. She is doing great now......though they could not restore the motion of her ankle bend.......it is now fused immobile........but she can still walk and she still has beautiful legs! They inserted titanium rods in her for healing time, but they have been removed now and she walks to her job every single day! Just wanted to let you know.....they can do amazing things in these times!
