We were having a debate this morning over who had it worse, me, when I couldn't walk, or her. My position was, at least she can walk, I was stuck in a chair all day long. Her position is that it's her. Although I was in a chair, I could move around and take care of myself. She can't even feed herself. So I think she has me beat.
What sucks the worst is that we can't even see a doctor until next week. We went to the emergency room last night. They took X-rays to diagnose the break, but all they did was put her in a splint and sling. We have to go to a pediatric specialist to actually find out the extent of her injuries and how long she's out of commission.
****ing hell, thats terrible man. How old is she?
Best of luck to her on a quick and successful healing. Wrists, knees and elbows are really tricky. Hopefully it doesn't start setting before they can put them right. I broke my ankle when I was in high school, and instead of seeing the doctor like an intelligent person, I walked around on it with crutches for about two weeks insisting it was just sprained. When the swelling didnt go down, I finally went in, the bone was starting to set wrong, and they had to rebreak it.
Not fun.
