Sorry I forgot she is not sure how the injury occured , it started hurting after PT and doing jumping jacks. They put her on crutches and she has been on them 2 weeks , she returned to the Dr. and was still having pain and they finally did an x ray and bone scan and found a fx in the R knee and stress fx in the L ankle, but the ankle is not bothering her at all.( It appears to be an old injury).

She did not say what type of fracture was in her knee, unfortunelty. I wish I knew. She had already been on crutches for 2 weeks in BC on LLD, so I hope that recovery time makes things go a little faster. I hope she can keep a positive attitudes, she was very upset at her set back.Her class will graduate on 2/8/13. Thank You for the help. Is there any info that may help her and I out that you can provide.

My son left for BC 9/17 within a week he called and said his shoulder dislocated and would be in RCU another 6-8 weeks. Then he sent me a letter that he could be there up to 12 weeks more. It is very depressing for them in there. At least thats what my son said. I wrote to him every day and sent him lots of puzzles, articles from the local paper etc. He said all they do is laundry and clean all day and there physical therapy. The one thing he did do that I was pleased about is he asked for a 2nd opinion. He was taken to the federal hospital. He said it is slightly off the base but I am not sure how something is slightly off base? That dr ordered him 3 weeks of PT and said he should be better than before. His dr there on base was trying to SEP him. He was able to call home last sunday and he said the dr trying to SEP him examined him again and his shoulder woulnd't come out of socket now so hopefully the PT an dworking out has strengthened it. It may not be a bad idea to have your son ask for the 2nd opinion. Let me know if you need to talk. I have been through many stages of emotions since he left. I feel for you almost getting to PIR and have that happen. Best advise I can give is just tell him to stay positive. My son was ok for a while and then was ready to quit. The last time I talked to him he was determined to get out of RCU and back to BC.

I got it I got it!! :) Ship 02 Div. 901. I feel so relieved!! :)

how exciting! thanks for letting me know, i hope i get mine tomorrow. ill let you know if i do or when i do :) hope to see you guys there! 

how exciting! I hope I get mine tomorrow. Fingers crossed. when is PIR? 

aww you guys are lucky! I want a call :( Im glad you are able to talk to him for a short period of time though! I didnt get the letter today maybe tomorrow. boy I wish it would just come already. 

Hi! I have not gotten a letter yet either :( I hope it comes today though. The boys are doing really well actually. The first three days they kept asking for daddy and wondering when hes going to come home, which was incredibly hard! How do you explain to a 2 1/2 year old daddy is going to be gone for a little while. Now after a week has passed they kinda just accept it now and went on with their little lives. So far so good though, its been an adjustment doing everything myself but I actually kinda like it! Feels like more bonding time ( shh dont tell my husband haha ) I hope you guys are doing well and we made it a week!! 7 more to go
