Doctor Visit

We saw the orthopedic doctor today and she will follow up again in one month.  He explained that she fractured the right wing of her pelvis and how it's an unusual break as generally a fall like that would break the hip instead.  She asked why she was doing PT if it did nothing to help "heal" the bone and he explained the need for her to stay active rather than bed rest, etc.  She told him that she fell again last night.  She was sitting on the edge of her bed and reached to put a bottle of lotion on the sink and leaned too far resulting in her ending up on the floor.  Naturally the call button was on the opposite side of the bed so someone heard her calling for help and lifted her back into the bed.  Now her bottom is sore too!  He told her she was to use a walker all the time from this point on as she may not be so lucky the next time.
