My girlfriend fell Saturday evening leaving her work and broke both her right tibia and fibula. She had surgery this evening and is recovering in her room. They inserted a spike in her tibia. She should be released Tuesday (maybe late Monday). The Doctor said 10-12 weeks for healing and should be able to start walking in 4 weeks. She has been real brave throughout and has been tolerating the pain.
She was diagnosed many years ago with Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease (CMT)(Also known as Hereditary Motor and Sensory Neuropathy (HMSN) or Peroneal Muscular Atrophy (PMA) if I am remembering what she and her family have. Unfortunately this was her good leg and just recently started having some trouble with it. She had just scheduled a consultation with the MDA to see if there were any new treatments or braces developed since she last saw them. We hope this is a blessing and will make this leg stronger when she has healed.
We just ask for you to keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
