Hey JK,
Sorry to hear of your Syncope episode. Did you lose consciousness or have pre syncope. Did they cast your leg? Since the femur is usually hard to brake I was curious if you have Osteoporosis or Osteopenia? Didn’t mean for this to be an inquisition. I hope it’s not to painful.
Take care,
Jake

@jakedduck1 you really quite knowledgeable about many medical things, sort of like my daughter. She has never been in a medical position yet she seems to have an amazing amount of knowledge. Were you ever in a medical position?

I think it may actually have been presyncope. If I did actually pass out, it was for a fraction of a sec.
It’s called Displaced fracture of greater trochanter of left femur. I really cannot put any weight on it. I have an appointment next week with a specialist so hopefully I will find more out then.

No cast or anything, it’s actually referred to as a hip fracture, a slight misnomer. A walker is imperative for me.
