Spiral right femur fracture last Saturday, rod inserted. Going home today from hospital. Sucks, especially this time of year with weather so great. Shattered left femur 13 years ago in 4 places too so I know what's in front of me.

Really sorry to hear that. My middle daughter is in the process of recovering from a tib/fib fracture she got on her scooter last April. Two surgeries later she can put some weight on the leg and now it's straight. I had a friend get a spiral break like yours at age 55 a few years back, he was skiing in Vermont. It's tough when we are older to recover from these injuries and spiral breaks are the worst. I hope you are able to get through it quicker than most. Good Luck.

Thanks everyone! At least the wife can enjoy the car now, but she's a bit afraid of it. I was getting ready to buy her a Boxster S but will be postponing that for a while now.
