Yes it does sound painful. Of course I can only imagine what it feels like personally, but they wife takes the meds like candy trying to avoid feeling it. We finally got in to meet with Orthopedic Dr yesterday, and we are going to the Hospital at 0930 for surgery this morning. Now that we have seen the Xrays more clearly and also a CT scan she must have fallen directly onto this balljoint breaking off one side of the ball. The doctor is going to do exploritory first to anylize the damage first hand, then decide how to proceed. He may repair it, or he may just cut off the entire ball and elliminate it all together. By the end of today her repair should be completed. Then we have to wait here for ten days to have the stiches removed, and have a final Xray to see that the repair is what he expects it to be. That will be on the 25th, and we should be on our way to Prague that weekend (26-27/Feb). Man what a PITA. Our household goods are already gone so we have almost nothing here. Luckily our services have setup a loaner program and we have a kit in use with sheets, towels, and a flat panel TV with DVD player. The kids are already out of the school, so they have to hang out at home during the day. Living out of our luggage, and eating out every day. Oh well it could be worse I guess.
