She tripped over a loose rock in the in-laws yard and landed on her right shoulder.
She couldn't move the arm, it's at least dislocated.
Ambulance took her away just a bit ago.
I'm on Boy duty, she has a close friend with her.
Fingers crossed.
UPDATE: She has fractured her right humerus head at the shoulder. Sent home in a sling, no extra drugs, instructions to call her primary for a follow-up.
The friend who went with her to the hospital says she saw a crack in the x-ray but everything was still attached to each other.
6-10 weeks of slinging it... and she's right handed. There will be new cuss words.
I hope your wife's injuries are minor.

Damn. Hope she is OK and recovers quickly.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed, absolutely. Sorry to hear this. Sending healing thoughts.
ReplyDeleteWhen I injured my right arm rotator cuff (no surgery required thankfully) many years ago, I had to have arm slung for two weeks to allow to heal. Frustrating when you are a CAD draftsman and now have to manipulate mouse with left arm. Work was ridiculously slow. Thankfully, truck is automatic transmission, else shifting gears would be problematic.

Hope she heals up soon. When something like that happened to my brother, he said afterward that he could now understand what I (as a lefty) went through. He had to do everything left-handed for a while, and found it inconvenient.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for Harvey's speedy and complete recovery. Hopefully no surgery will be required and the physical therapy won't be too rough.
