Greenie, Birdo, Foodie, and Karaoke nut

So, I wrote a story, a bit of fanfic. Some of you may have read it. In my mind is forming a sequel of sorts, but I want my facts straight first.

So. We have the scenario. 15 year old girl, promising ballet dancer, has a psycho wail on her legs with a sledgehammer. Afterwards, for about 3 weeks, she's kept drugged up on painkillers and sedatives, probably gets some minimal topical care for open wounds. But the broken bones - they fuse back where ever they are after the smashing.

Okay, so my questions.
1. Is this survivable? - I'm pretty confident it's a yes. She'd possibly die of shock if it wasn't for being drugged up to the eyeballs. She's escaped things like infections and septaceamia.
2. How would the legs look?
3. Would she be able to use the legs again? Would she limp? Have a cane? Walk on crutches? Or be fully wheelchair bound?

Maybe someone is a doctor or knows a doctor that would know what would result from these kinds of injuries if left untreated (I'd be guessing that if treated right away, after weeks of traction and casts, then months and months of physiotherapy, she might be able to walk again at least - but of course, she's not rescued for about 3 weeks, is this enough time for bone and muscle to fuse and heal back in all the wrong places?)

It's a pretty gory scenario really. But the follow in is pretty inspirational, for me at least.

In an attempt to bash through my current case of writers block I've starterd to write stuff in movie script style. I mean, that's how I see things in my head anyway.

Look out for the community squiggle_muse coming soon (like, after I get home). The comm. doesn't exist yet so if you click the link you'll get nothing. I'll also explain the name when I make the community.

In other news, something has died somewhere in the shop. And when it gets hot it reeks. I just fumigated with Glen 20.

Ah yes, the DVDs. The first of course was The Lost Boys. That hillarious 80's vampire brat pack movie. The other was Excess Baggage. I remember hearing about this movie when it came out as well as A Life Less Ordinary (which I haven't seen yet) which was released around the same time and had a similar theme. I had never seen Benicio Del Toro in a movie before (well, I did see some of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and just remember thinking "What the FUCK is this?!" Anyway, he's a pretty good actor. I like his character best in Excess Baggage.

And a last question, for the fangirls (and boys) - How did the word "slash" originate? Just started wondering after reading PotO in 15 minutes again. Man that thing still cracks me up even after reading it 20 or so times.

And despite the relocation of Kenneth, the other king brown was seen this morning. Now, no-ones really sure which of the snakes was Kenneth in the first place so this could still be him. Kenneth is pretty much just a generic name for "Resident king brown snake".
