Oh, it is painful. It fucking hurts. I highly recommend you not break your femur!
If I stop responding, it means I have gone to bed. I only have so much time and I have been trying to devote two hours to online activity a night. That time is nearly up, but I may chill for a while longer and I should recall my temp password until tomorrow.
I did have a new tablet dropped off, but it sucks balls.
Thankfully I'm blessed with nigh indestructible bones, if you hit them hard enough they will dent but they do not break.
Well, I'd offer you some help but I'm not sure how I could do that other than performing a manual password rest for you.
Don't stay up too late I hear you need plenty of rest for broken bones.
LOL I will be fine until I get home. It is saved in my password manager at home and, sadly, I have my VPN turned off and I am not even going to try to talk the missus through starting it up. So, I can not even login and use VNC. (I do that often but not right now.)
I do not even take my sleep meds for about another 45 minutes. I take my pain meds at 23:00. They wake me up for more pain meds at 03:00. I am up again no later than 06:00 and then I get out of bed at 07:00.
That is when the torture begins. It takes like an hour just to get showered and ready for breakfast. I still can't bathe myself. I can almost dress myself.
I then have therapy for 3.5 hours per day. I usually try to steal a PT staff member and put in another hour. I can kind of move my leg a little but only in certain conditions. I can't really lift it myself, except for a few conditions. My quads basically don't work and even my glutes are impacted.
I have some hairline fractures and a few broken ribs, but those are all pretty minor. The femur is my major break.
Today was the day that I finally got 'unsupervised movement in room.' That means I can get out of bed and use the walker to get to the chair and wheel around - or just use the walker by myself. I will go home on crutches but I am not yet allowed to use those without supervision.
I can finally poop without people observing me and I don't have to piss into a plastic jug that they call a urinal.
See? My pee jug from a few days ago:

I have not even used my pee jug today!
Well it sounds like you are on a promising course to full recovery. I'll send you all the good vibes I've got to spare. Which admittedly isn't many as of late but I'd rather put as much good into the world as I can.
