    This brings tears to my eyes. My son attempted a new trick on a trampoline breaking both bones in his underarm, through the skin. He had surgery that day to place a metal rod into each bone, the entire length of each. Just a few days ago, 4 months later, he just had surgery to remove the two metal rods. All this during a global pandemic. He did and is doing great. Me, the mother is still a little worse for wear.
    Blessings to all the amazing doctors and nurses out there.

    What a brave little girl! I've heard that if you break your femur bone, it's as strong as concrete!

    I had a gunshot injury to my rt distal femur when I was 16, now 13 surgeries later my leg is shorter than the left. But I did recover. However, due to sciatica I am now partially disabled. But that little girl their handled it very well. And cheers to you.

    I broke my femur when I was 9 by falling off my bike. I got a rod and 3 screws and then had a 2nd surgery in middle school to get one of the screws removed. I was in a wheel chair for a few months and had several years of doctor visits and physical therapy. I'm 20 now and it still hurts but I don't notice much now. It's crazy lol

    I broke my right femur in 2020, and my left femur in 2022. They were both so painful. I have broken so many bones in my lifetime!
