Thank you Bigg Red.
A bad fall can happen to anyone at almost anytime.
Sympathy and prayers for your Husband.

Dunno about the femur but I'll back up what others have said about rotator repair surgery - your husband needs to be prepared for a long rehab and make certain he does his PT! Its a challenge.

Buy him a cryotherapy unit and a recliner to sleep in. He'll need it for a few weeks as after surgery its hard to lie down flat.

Thank you.

Praying now.

[Bigg Red]

Thank you for the advice about the recliner. I will look into that. Don’t know about the cryotherapy unit. Sounds like it would be...an ice pack?

[skeeter]

Basically, its a cooler holding ice water with a sleeve for the shoulder and a pump.

Prayers up, I fell, slid/crashed my ankle into a cement porch when I was 16. That was a long summer. Healing Prayers for your husband.

[Stephanie32]

Make sure that he takes enough Calcium and Vitamin D to help with the healing process. God Bless both of you.

Praying for complete restoration of both femur and rotator cuff. Be blessed and rest in Him.

Prayers as requested. I’ve had two neck fusions, shoulder surgery, and blown tendons in my hand. The most important thing for your husband is to arrange for physical therapy and you must ensure he goes and does his homework. These things are painful and can take a long time to recover. Without therapy he can lose significant range of motion. With therapy, he’ll do just fine.

[Bigg Red]

Okay. Thanks.

[Bigg Red]

Thanks.

[Bigg Red]

Will do. Thanks.

[Bigg Red]

Thank you.

I do, indeed, trust in the Lord, and He has done great things for me.

[Bigg Red]

Thank you.

Don’t worry, I know that he will listen to the PT and follow through. Been down that road with a prior injury.

Prayers up for your husband... did he slip on ice? A lady from our church slipped on a patch of black ice in the parking lot and fractured her hip yesterday. Nasty stuff!

[ABN 505]

i slipped on ice and dislocated my elbow last week, still in a cast, NOT FUN.Dr.said they have seen tons of breaks and dislocations this year because of all the snow and ice. BE CAREFUL OUT THERE

[tbpiper]

Will do.

[Bigg Red]

Thank you.

There has been an unusually great amount of ice around here of late, but actually, he tripped over the neighbor’s trailer hitch. No ice was involved.

[Bigg Red]

Oh, dear. Prayers up for you.
