I will probably be a lot more level headed about it in a few months, but right now I'm not. Right now, my wife is more resigned to the day to day situation and I'm the one really ticked off about the possibility that this was a "side effect". Some side effect, huh? In a few months, my wife will probably be here, but right now she's not ready. She has more good days than before, but she's tired of the pain medicine and the way it makes her loopy and emotional. She's tired of not being active or exercising. She's worried about the future. She's even tired of her broken leg being the "talk" of the town.
My advice to you ladies. Stick it out together for the long haul. I have seen how my wife's story resonates with people and shakes them to their core in a visceral way.
Anyone from Venables, LLP or Jones Day or Dechert would do well to remember that. Regular people see those X-Rays and they are ROCKED. It won't matter that it only happens to a "few" people. It won't matter that it "helped" people for their first 5 years. When regular people understand how these drugs work, they will ask why the hell didn't the manufacturers think about the inevitable? The fact that most people have not snapped a femur yet doesn't mean their bones aren't turning to chalk. I'm sorry, there I go with the feisty attitude, but Jesus Mahoney it ticks me off! A rare side effect? Oh....well that makes us feel sooooo much better. wish that rare "side effect" had been part of the commercials!
Call me crazy, but you would think that if these companies warn men about the risk of a four hour erection, they might see fit to warn women about the risk of the strongest bone in their body snapping with little or no warning, wouldn't ya think?.
