Like most people, I guess I thought taking a round in the hip would not be life-threatening. Hoping for the best.
Lots of possibilities. If femoral artery hit, you have to hurry. Also, can get fat emboli post op. May need hip reconstruction later. Was hip his only wound? After 48-72 hours, we can all breathe a little easier. I'll just be glad when he leaves the hospital. Hope the others are doing okay too.
