Not a Simple Break

Noelle took a fall at her part time job Saturday off a two foot ladder jamming her femur into the tibia, shattering it so badly the trauma orthopedic doc said it looked like she'd been in a bad car accident.

Today she underwent a four hour surgery with a couple of pounds of screws and plates added to her anatomy. She'll be off her feet a month and it won't be at least until three months before she can walk normally again.
