I wanted to give an update. When I fell, I broke my femur bone in two. It was very painful, but not so much now. I have to spend 3 months in bed getting therapy. I have drop foot from the injury and can't walk due to that too. I would trip over my toes. I live in a nursing home now. I used to work in one and now I live in one.

I am treated very well here. My leg hurts less but the brace got soiled with diarrhea and has to be cleaned. The brace keeps the leg in alligator and helps with the pain.

It seems like they would only take continent residents. If a resident wets the bed or has a bn in the bed there would be no one to clean them up. I had an extra big blow out last night and had to be cleaned up.

It was horrible. I fell right backwards and my face was facing the ceiling.
