Just thought I'd give an update on the leg. I got home a week ago and
the leg seems to be healing nicely, according to the most recent
x-rays the orthopedic surgeon took. I seem to have done a pretty
impressive job breaking it though, and it will be at least six weeks
until I can put weight on it.

BTW, there is an article on osteoporosis in MD in a recent issue of
Quest:

It hasn't been determined whether this was a contributing factor in my
case, but it's probably something patients should look into.
