On the Way to the Surgeon

Even with the ice storm (the bulk of which seems to have missed us, thank goodness), we were able to get my husband’s shoulder x-rayed yesterday. They prescribed pain meds, cold packs, a sling, and we have an appointment to see an orthopaedic surgeon this morning at 0-dark-30. The x-ray showed a broken left clavicle. We’ll know more after the surgeon sees us. At least we should be able to control his pain better now while we find out what is next.

    I’m glad that you were able to get it cried to find out what’s going on with it. Sorry to hear that he broke his clavicle. Hope the surgeon can get it where he’s out of pain.

    • Thanks, Lynn. We saw the surgeon this morning and opted for no surgery. Recovery time is the same either way – 10 to 12 weeks. We have him as comfortable as possible and will just do the best we can each day until he is healed.
