Anchorage Misadventure

On Monday January 25 Bill fell on the ice in the driveway while we were on our way to do some errands. He knew immediately that he had broken his leg and did not attempt to stand. The xray in the emergency room showed a diagonal break in the left femur. He was in surgery by 8 pm. He now has a new metal plate and seven pins holding the two separate pieces together. Xray photo shows the sharp end of the break and how the lower part of the bone slid up against the hip bone. Other photos are Bill in his hospital bed showing the bandages on the incision.
