LOL! Sandy you are a HOOT!!! I hope your crazy manager gets some help soon - or a new job!!!
Well folks, my mom has a stress reaction in her femur (top long bone in the thigh). I'm sure you've heard of stress fractures - well she doesn't have a fracture, just a reaction which is causing her pain. They don't have a clue what caused it other than she walks with a cane in her right hand and the leg next to the cane (her right leg) has more weight on it, and thus, stress on it because a cane in your right hand takes the stress of the left leg. So the doctor said that always having more weight on the right leg could have caused the stress reaction - or not - who knows!
Anyway, it should get better with time and physical therapy. It will take a while, but she has to "push through it" as the doctor said. She can use the wheel chair, but she needs to get up and walk some everyday with a walker, which takes pressure off both legs.
I am very relieved to know that it is not something more serious. I'm not sure my mom WILL "push through it". She's a wimpy baby - but we'll see.
