What the hell.

Here's the fracture. Compare to the left.

Molly used to live here. I evicted her 17 years ago. Now, apparently some redwood trees moved in.

My left leg is shorter than my right. I am lopsided.

That would show up in an MRI, dollin JenB. This is about a break I have on my right greater trochanter. I am falling apart, my sweet.

Recent injury or an old one? Does it cause you much pain on a daily basis? Surgery required? (ignore anything and everything you wish to ... I am curious but don't mean to pry if it is too personal)

RooLovey, it's recent. It's painful all day and into the night. We'll find out about surgery on Monday. You can ask me anything you want, including - "Grace, come over and I'll feed you a yummy, homemad vegetarian dinner!"

You're on, Grace. If / when you hit the rust belt, dinner and wine at my house!

Will keep my fingers crossed that they can fix you up with minimal invasion to your person!

I have some extra high power drugs - need 'em? That looks painful. How does one break their greater trochanter, a fall?

Oh,. Grace, I am SO sorry. I wish you recovery faster than the speed of light. It must be excruciating.

Much love from your MOST ardent admirer.

FlippyO - Heya dollin. Hang on to your extra high power drugs in case - God forbid - Obama loses. And, I have no idea how I cracked myself, though I do crack myself up all the time.

Bada boom.

ElkitLoveit - This is nothing compared to the broken heart I nursed after breaking up with this beautiful, surly guy I loved in the mid 80s. Please, don't let me digress. Thanks for your lovin'.

MTTSM - Carmen, I think of your running injury and yet you kept going on. This serves as my inspiration to stop whining and get healing. Love many fold right back at you.

if you must have surgery, i will volunteer (VOLUNTEER) to come and be your doula once again. and malcolm wrangler. and soup maker. and the person who makes sure you do NOT take too many drugs that make you buy things on the Internet that you do NOT need. even if you try to convince me that you're just helping the sagging economy.

i'm sad this has happened to you. and without a reason why?

and...please...take it easy on the advil. it's very hard on your liver. i like your liver. as i like all the rest of you.

nakedjen says:

actually, if you do have any of that LIBERTEA still lurking about at your house, please start drinking it. the herbs in there have calcium and also are supportive of the liver. it won't make the pain any less, but will help to support you while you're eating advil like halloween candy. i suppose the advil is at least orange. thus fitting with this pagan holiday!

FlippyO says:

Ugh, if Obama loses, I'm taking all of the drugs at once. November 5th can't come soon enough. I want it all to be over and decided.

That sucks that you don't even have a good story for your injury, like being tumbled by an avalanche or something. My herniated disk was the same - "how did it happen?" Uh, I guess I've been sitting at my desk too much.

By the way, morphine is easier on your liver & stomach than Advil or Tylenol, so if you have a choice, choose the painkiller that kills more pain and hurts fewer internal things. Also, if you have a choice between, say, Percocet and plain Oxycodone, get the Oxycodone because you can always add your own Tylenol or Advil (which I prefer) as needed...and for those of us who don't have pharmacy benefits, it's also the cheaper way to go. It's not often that cheaper is better.
