Pat,
That's a bummer. I'd rather drop a dowel-locater in my bottom-end any day than have that happen. That sucks!
Five years ago I broke my Tibia/Fibula on my right leg (see pic below). As a result of sitting around doing nothing (to heal) and not drinking enough water, I started farming kidney stones. Take it from me, YOU DON'T WANT TO GIVE BIRTH TO ANY OF THOSE (although you don't have to put them through college)!
Anyway, drink plenty of fluids.
