Big Injuries

I am looking for a couple of friends who are or have been dealing with coming back after a major injury.
I had my hip replaced last April. I was just about well, healing really fast, when I fell and broke my femur. It was a jagged break. I suspect there was already a hairline fracture from when the surgeon hammered the spike into the femur during the hip replacement.
I have been active all my life and this forced confinement is hard to bear.
Is your situation similar? Have you kuvef through something similar? If so, I would like you to friend me at JackieMaughan
I'm not into sexting or sharing pix of intimate body parts. And, yes, it has been a problem. I do not have a lot of friends and that is intentional. I like to pay attention to the ones I have. I am a politically liberal environmental activist and mainstream feminist. I like straights, gays, trans, all ages, anywhere in the world.

    Almost 3 years ago I broke my ankle in two places, had surgery and was left with a plate and 9 screws. I had a 1 year recovery and had to learn to walk again. My surgeon told me I wouldn't run again, well guess what, about 2 years after my accident I was running. Now I'm back to my same speed and distance as pre-injury. My doctor is so thrilled and says he's shocked.
