broken femur during tkr

During tkr surgery, my femur was accidentally broken.
My recovery is totally different from what I had planned.
I cannot bear weight on the affected leg for 3 months. Anyone else have this happen.
My OS said he has never had it happen in 32 years.

    I am over 50 and had broken my femur in April of 2010,The surgeon put have three long screws to hold it in place. For three months I couldn’t put weight on it and used a walker – I hated that. Then I used a crutch. Don’t get discouraged, you’ll get better – I’m not walking with a limp and no pain.
