Oh I can sooo relate. I wish her well. I fell and broke my femur. I had "revision" surgery.

I'm now held together with screws and bailing wire:

The worst part of it was being completely non-weight-bearing on that leg for six weeks. That really stunk.

The PT wasn't bad at all. My knee replacement kept my attention, however.

As for flying? She'll be wanded a lot. With titanium in my hip, knee and shoulder I get some VERY concerned looks from the guys at TSA.

I hope she's getting good home health care.
