Arnold Schwarzenegger breaks his leg ??????

[susanna mathews]

A few months back we had a teenager who broke her femur while in New Orleans on a church mission to repair homes (stack of drywall fell on her).  She arrived in Indiana 2 days post-injury wearing a serious long leg cast with a bag of painkillers riding in a minivan!  Gutty kid.  Oh, and no foley catheter ...
At least Arnold will probably get to fly home.

  OK I am confused. All the news reports say California Gov Arnold
  Schwarzenegger broke his FEMUR while skiing. The reports say he was checked
  out and X-Rayed then sent home. He is not in a cast according to news
  reports. He will need surgery when he returns to Los Angeles. Am I missing
  something here? Broken Femur and sent home. I know I have been out of the
  field for awhile but....
