I'm following this girl on twitter who has been documenting her journey in a full leg cast. I thought this was fascinating to see her perspective.
A little background - She broke her leg in 3 places on Jan 26. Seems to have happened when she tried to climb through a window when she was locked out of her apartment and ended up falling about 8 feet. She is in a full leg cast and has endured several surgeries.
These are some of her broken leg related tweets. Most recent is at the top of the list. At the bottom are her pics. I wish I could suck on thos toes and make her feel better! Any of our resident medical experts want to diagnose the exact type of injury from the pics?
