Broke/fractured my left patella when I was 18. No doctor visit or pain killers other than aspirin. Hurt a lot and swelled up for several days. Wrapped it with an ACE bandage and carried on. No other lingering effects. BUT, that was almost 50 year years ago for me. I'd be headed to the doctor with your bride's situation . . .

Someday I hope to be the person my dogs think I am . . .
The only true cost of having a dog is its death.
