A website to help us keep in touch
Published on December 29, 2003 By JCY In Home & Family
I saw my family doctor today. He showed me the orthopedic texbook he read to find out what he should do. Basically, the treatment is to use an immobilizing sling for two weeks, then a regular sling for 2 weeks, then physical therapy. That's all there uis to it. Still hurts, though. Yvonne has to get another chest x-ray on Friday. She still gets short of breath easily, so she needs assistance just to walk across the room. I'm not sure how we're going to get her to Radiology, because moving hurts too much right now.

Everyone has been very helpful, still. Jackie is staying with us for the next few days to help out.

wow, Yvonne sounds like she got the worse end of the stick. Sounds very painful. GCJ
