Good work. I've always believed a man without scars is a sad, sorry animal.
Just broke my femur a year and a half ago, preparing for BWR. Snapped the ball off the bone right before it joints into the hip. Good times.
Beer has silicone and is therefore good for healing bones. Also eating fresh (not canned) pineapple is good for it. Caffeine (especially coffee and soda drinks) are decidedly bad for healing bones.
Only be about a month and a half. Read a book, learn a language, and keep them positive healing thoughts. Hang in there.
