And there were numerous broken bones, including her thigh bone. MS wants to explain this away as being caused by osteoporosis.
I sent the bone scan results to a friend of mine, several years ago, who's an orthopedic surgeon. I asked him his opinion as to the bone scan (which, btw, clearly states "history of trauma"), whether, in his opinion these various breaks/fractures (thigh, ankles, knees, back, ribs) were all caused by osteoporosis over trauma. He said, in his opinion, that ALL these breaks/fractures, could not possibly have been caused by osteoporosis. And he agreed with the Dr.'s report that there were, indeed, caused by trauma.
However, that's not a fracture of her right femur, it's a bone bruise. Which is also pretty unusual and maybe even more difficult to explain :-) Something with a lot of pressure on the area but not the kind of extreme trauma that might snap the bone.
The compression fracture to her spine at L1 is even odder. The BACKS of the adjacent ribs are fractured. Sometimes ribs are injured in CPR, but not in the back! Something put a lot of force on that specific spot to fracture the spine and ribs. An RN friend familiar with the case and I both think it was Michael's left knee. His right knee was on her right thigh, causing the bone bruise. He's a big man, twice her size, so if he pinned her that way and put her in a strangle hold, she didn't have a chance.
Oh, and did we all know that Terri's blood showed lactic acidosis? That's a condition caused by extreme exertion in the absence of oxygen -- like fighting desperately for her last breath.
