Ben I giving you the good and the bad points of the recovery. I was am lucky that my wife was able to take some time off and help out.
I would think you should check with the VA if you are eligible if not then with your DR and Medicare. Recovery is doable with support form all of those plus there should be options for people that can help. Not here but in the next county over there's bus service right to your door, here there are volunteers to help get you to PT and back.
Hey the house may look like a mess for a while until you are back on you feet, but you'll feel a lot better once you explore the possibilities.
IV-- that's great news. Hopefully you can be there and help figure out what all has to be done once she gets back home.
Blue took me over a year of waiting for one of our vendors to come back from a bad fall where she broke her ankle and foot. She had a 2nd surgery last Dec and it helped with the foot but there was a lot of nerve damage and she hasn't been able to put that type of pain away and may never be able to. So I decided to quit waiting as walking was to painful as it was bone on bone. Did the left one in Feb and and about 3/4 the way thru since it was feeling better the other one started up. Got that one done in June. So My advice is get er done if you can. Try to get both in the same year so insurance doesn't kick in with two deductibles.
Thanks Hunter great to be back..
