Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsHappy birthday to me.
I'm 24 now, with a fractured hip as a gift.
I'm doing better. (Maybe not emotionally.) The exercises I have to do are painful, but my overall pain has gone down I think. You don't know what you have until you lose the ability... I can't move my leg side to side without significant pain involved.
But anyways, this is my birthday party thread.

People Who Have Birthdays Live longer.

However, you are young and you will heal. You. Will.
I hope you'll have a wonderful day, full of love, presents and cake!

(10,039 posts)I just finished yoga before I got hit, so I didn't tense up as much after I saw the mini van come up. I would not have the arm strength to move around in a walker without yoga... Yoga deals with hip openers so blood flow might be pretty good in my hip.
Glad I had a heavy winter jacket on too.
