You seem to be adjusting very well. It’s a generous thing that you’re maintaining the site. I’m sure other, future marines will benefit from your viewpoints. Hang in there.

Basically, one can only wait for the bone to heal. Usually it takes 8 to 12 weeks before any weight can be put on the leg. Yes, the screws are permanent. I see a physical therapist 3 days a week. Right now we’re stll trying to get the rest of my leg working again. I only have minimal movement in the hip right now, but it should come back slowly.

Man that still doesn’t look right. How does one go about recovering from a break like that anyway (Im assuming the screws are permanent)? Are you seeing a physical therapist every other day? Whats involved? Questions.. questions… Good luck man!
