So we had an early lunch and I got the car up the drive with the OB in it. We arrived at the hospital at 2.00pm and left again at 7.00pm. The nurse who examined her said she thought the OB had broken her wrist and the x-ray confirmed her opinion. Two doctors, one holding her hand and the other her elbow, subsequently pulled her arm back into more or less the correct position and slapped some plaster on it. Off for another x-ray to confirm that the bones in the wrist were now set where they should be (they were) and wait for the orthopedic consultant to check everything. He said that she will need an operation, which will probably be in about 10 days time.
Now we are trying to work out what we can do to have such fun this afternoon.
Well, so much for the "kind doctor putting her mind at rest." And that's really not the best reason for an outing, is it?

ReplyDeleteI don't know. Anyway, it was the best I could come up with at short notice.
We have to play the hand we're dealt.
