Broken Arm

10 weeks ago, While exiting the Waffle House, James slipped his flip/flop on the cement bumper and fell breaking his fall with his right elbow.  We went over to Medical City and after an ex-ray showing a fractured radial head, the nurse put James' arm in a brace from fingers to shoulder.  Poor James needed help with toileting and bathing which the girls did not volunteer to perform.  The next day we went to the VA to talk with his primary doctor who has to request consults.  She sent James for another ex ray and to the Orthopedic Clinic.  The doctor recommended that he continue to use the sling but removed the brace.  After 6 weeks the fracture was slightly displaced and not mending.  The doctor told James not to lift anything heavier than a dinner fork and return in 4 weeks.  James was declared healed on 7/14/2011.
