My mom’s Shattered Heel
Dear Sirs:I was in a Car accident with my mother three days ago.
I am doing this in the hospital right now.
The orthopedic surgeon fixed my moms knee and he said my moms shattered Heel is better left alone.
Two Questions.
1. How will it heel with no heel bone there now? 2. What is my mom going to do without that heel bone?
Will she be able to walk on it after the 8 weeks of healing said to be done?
Thanks for any replys or emails.Sean

First I want to congratulate you on your concern for your mom. She should be proud of you. Second of all, sometimes doctors say things in an overly simply manner. There are amny situations that just don’t translate into regular english easily. Having said that. I suggest you pose these questions to the orthopedist.Not having seen her foot and x-rays, I can not give you any reliable information. The best answer will come from the doctor who treated her and don’t quit asking until you understand. Good luck to you and your mom.
