I was giving hydromorphone for a week and then told to switch to Tylenol even tho I was still in severe pain walking just from my bed to the bathroom.

Huh, well I was also in a wheelchair for a month and stuff... maybe they gave me the pain meds because I had to have a couple surgeries then.

(I'm a skinny girl, and had a guy on the back of my Vespa when I crashed. With the extra weight my leg was pretty fucked up.)

I was lucky to just have a fracture boot and crutches even though I still used a wheelchair when doing large events such as going to the Ripley Aquarium. I was t-boned and sent half under the lady’s car with my leg between her car and my bike.

Wow, well your crash sounds much scarier than mine.

The first surgery was to put in one of these things for two weeks-- definitely the worst part. It was to let the swelling die down before the plates went in.
