PFHS Coach Thankful For Leg Break

When is breaking your leg a good thing? If you ask Post Falls head football coach Jeff Hinz he’ll tell you he’s fortunate he broke his on Thanksgiving morning. Hinz, 42, was walking around his home that morning when his left femur snapped in half. Upon arriving at the hospital, doctors performed initial tests trying to determine how his leg broke. They discovered a plum-sized tumor where the bone had snapped. A rod was inserted from his hip to his knee to connect the bones. Hinz, a government teacher, must be at home for eight to 12 weeks to allow the leg to heal. There was this bigger issue, though, to tackle. While in the hospital, doctors did tests to see if he had any spots elsewhere in his body. They thought he had a spot in the other hip and on the spine. But a PET scan Tuesday ruled those out. He got the official diagnosis Tuesday. He has a form of adenocarcinoma/ Greg Lee , SR. More here.
