This is wonderful, Susannah.  After flying down to help my mother with a tiny stress fracture in June, both she and I were very surprised by the "loneliness of recovery" as you call it.  I think this loneliness is really what's at the heart of the matter with recovery from bone injuries for anyone, let alone older adults.  I love that you are addressing those feelings of isolation.

Thanks for this, Manisha. Since I'm on EST time I think I have a few more minutes and I will take your suggestion to heart and include some of my comments in my submission. Thank you!

Thank you so much, Manisha for your encouragement and the guidelines. I am not very technical and don't have very much in the way of a device or a tangible "thing" but I hope that something from my Mom's experience can contribute to other's preventing or healing fast from fractures in the future.
