ortho

I did not, in fact, sprain a muscle in my arm.

I shattered the ball in the ball and socket that lets th arm move.

Tomorrow I get an MRI to see which option they will choose.

a) bind it tightly and let the bones re-fuse.
b) replace the upper bone and the ball.
c) replace the upper bone, the ball, and part of my shoulder.

I am devastated.

Oh Bill, I'm so sorry! I can't even imagine the pain that has caused you. I'll hope for the best outcome possible and that you heal quickly.


An aside .. my daughter broke her collar bone last fall and had to wear a sling type thing to hold her shoulders back for better healing. Is this the sort of thing they have you wrapped up in as well?
