Hello I have just fractured my femur

I have been reading all your recoverie stories more then 10 times in the last 7 weeks I think :slight_smile:

I am not a biker, but I was looking for similar injuries in people who sport. I broke my femur 7,5 weeks ago after falling from the skateboard. My lesser trochanter also broke which worries me the most.

I started weight bearing after 6 weeks and have to go back to the hospital next Thursday (8 weeks). I bought a static bike and ride 1 hour a day, and started to go back to the gym a week ago. Still walking most of the time with 2 crutches, sometimes 1 at home and very very short wobbles without. I hope to be back in summer so I can go back to the water, doing what I love most (surf and kitesurf).

The mental part is the hardest, and I’m afraid I will feel this in my strength for the rest of my life (I’m only 43).
