Whatever happened to that light

at the end of the tunnel?

Today has been very depressing.  I'm thinking that the bone isn't healing and have gotten some confirmation.  Both from my own attempts at putting weight on it and having a radiologist friend take a look at my x-rays.

In the walking experiment, I attempted to put weight on the leg.  It feels solid.

I then attempted to walk along with my walker and 'walk' by putting  a little weight on the bad leg.  It worked, but every step I felt something move around in my leg and do a bit of a twist.  That feeling is what made me go to the hospital when I first broke my leg.  That it wasn't solid.  And that's what I'm starting to imagine is happening- my bones have kind of healed over and the support is coming from that big nail.  If that is right, it is likely never to heal.

Thinking that my next appointment is two weeks away, and no where to go but.. down makes me want to get an earlier appointment.  I'm waiting to hear back from a few friends who are in the business and get their opinions.  If the same results come back (nonunion), then I'll call my doctor next week and try to speed up whatever comes next.
