OMG I can't believe what have n are going n through. I give you immense credit for hanging in there n persevering through it all.
First, you need yo get an attorney. To me, it seems you have a malpractice on several levels.
Secondly, you will be able to walk with assistance of several aides - a shoe with a lift after your leg is measured for length deficit. You will probably eventually need to use a crutch or walker indefinitely. Thirdly, depending on which leg with deficit, you'll be able to drive but with hand controls.
Life will be different but you'll still have a life. All.if us on this blog, in one way shape or form, have life an manage to get through it daily.
You're a strong person to get this far. DON'T GIVE UP.
Oh most importantly, you need to have a sense of humor. Studies have shown people who can laugh have better outcomes. So you hang in there. We're all here rooting for you n can sympathize with you.

It is hard to keep hopes alive. I know I really should get lawyer. So over it. This nursing home can’t take me to any dr.becase I can’t sit I have to go in a ambulance . Reading all the response on the blogs, it just scared me to death. Especially the infections that can go to your hip even if you have a tooth. Just so much to think .all I want to do is go home. I have looked into hoyer lifts and slings on amazon but I don’t want to lay that all on my brother. My husband will not help me been already there with that issue. Anyway enough crying. I am so glad to have this support. You keep strong.
