Thank you gals
"Don't count your chickens, Iz" was just to high over the moon, when a nurse came in, 2 days late, 9:00 last night but was supposed to be here Thursday, to check my wounds under the brace. She was new to me so I asked if she knew her way around this knee hinge.
"No, you'll have to tell me", as we are undoing some straps while I am saying, that it is a delicte 'operation' and if she were to read the instructions on my cork board she would see that two "with it" people are recommended,. However, I have had only one and (*SNAP*--she wasn't listening, I guess, and tried to flatten out the cup shaped brace, bent a rod and snapped a whole mechanism on the outside.), --------I could have cried. Well I did later, as it was the weekend and people just aren't available...... and what about my discharge?????????????
I was bedridden until today at 2:45 pm today, while Rehab searched out the top O. T. person, in the City, who came and duct taped the breakage, so that now I am sitting up, will have an appointment back at the hospital Monday at 10:00 am instead, then discharged in the afternoon? "Not counting my chickens, Iz" must now have assistance transferring until Orthotics replaces the rod and mechanism.
I already paid $280.00 for ththe brace and am wondering who has to absorb the cost of repair? Out of principle, I don't want to pay. I believe this establishment ought to pick up the tab. It was like finally landing on my feet, just to have someone whack me behind the knees, with a 2 x 4!!!
My own sweet place awaits me still, with an email program to reinstall, and receipts to post to my account (checking out my POA's abilities, eh?) and once again take on the care and control of self (with paid help.)
Just another hitch in my gitalong!

Izzy I am so glad you are going home but so sorry you've been delayed again, and absolutely think 'they' should fund the repairs. How very frustrating for you. Fingers crossed that this is it and you'll be home and comfy very soon xxx
