Answer
Hi Kathy,

Your husbands has very serious injuries, I sustained the same ones in an accident in 2000. I know just about everything there is to know medically and from a patient perspective about this. There is a great deal i have to go over with you, oxygen generator, bone stimulators, what kind of fixation device they are using, type of fracture, other injuries and so on. This is one of those questions that require one on one discussion, my number is 708-466-9994, please call today.
