Gentlemen, thank you all for the well wishes and prayers.
Met with an orthopedic surgeon this morning, had a better temporary splint applied and will meet with him again tomorrow morning for the final fix. Seems that a slight complication has developed that will require a touch of what looks like medieval torture, but she does now have the magic of pain pills. Again, thank you - you guys are the BEST!!

No surgery needed? That's good then.

Yessir!
Met with the orthopedic doctor again this morning at 8:00. Kim was in a lot of pain, magic pills having no effect. A dose of valium to relax her, a bit of arm stretching to separate the bone at the break, some quick manipulation, some tears shed at the enhanced level of pain, then a new splint applied. Fast forward about 8 hours, pain greatly diminished and the beautiful smile has returned. Full recovery/repair can be anywhere from 8 weeks to 2 years according to what you read or to whom you listen. Back to Methodist Hosp. next week for follow up X-rays to ensure that bone is properly aligned. We are so grateful to have been attended to by some great professionals from the HFD EMS, the St. Joseph’s Hospital ER room staff, and the doctor and his assistant at Methodist Hospital; all played a positive part in this little bit of drama in our lives. We now await financial ruin. |

I have learned that the older we get the easier it becomes for us to have a fall. I wish her a speedy recovery.
