Not the same, but I am recuperating from a broken femur. I don't know if you will get a cast or a rod. I have a titanium rod in my leg and the recovery was surprisingly fast. I had almost NO pain after surgery. Physical therapy helped me a lot, too!
When I was in the hospital, I was across from a woman with a broken shoulder. She was there a couple of days and then went to rehab. I also did a week in rehab.... lots of excellent PT there, but the rest of it sucked.
Best of luck to you. I hope you have a quick and pain-free recovery. Let us know how it went, OK?
