People survive a broken leg.

I did.

Surprising to me was not how long the leg took to heal, but all the other things that went with the healing. All the things I needed to do while in the cast and then out of it. No one tells you these things and how much work you'll need to do.

Your emotions can be all over the place. There are ups and downs. Some funny times and not so fun times. The broken leg affects everything thing you do in your daily life, and it affects the people around you.

That said, let others help you. They want to. Trust me on that.

So, be strong and work hard.

When things get tough, don't forget to

Give yourself a hug.
