This was her christmas sling http://gfretwell.com/ftp/Judy%20sling.jpg Be sure your wife does the PT as soon as possible so she gets full mobility back. Not to get too morbid in details but she broke her right arm ... the same side that she had a mastectomy for breast cancer years ago. That surgery took a lot of muscle away and she has always experienced a weakness on that side. That was 20 years ago however and the treatments and surgical procedures have changed dramatically over the years, having far less permanent effects. Chemo has changed dramatically also. It is much more targeted the affected cells. When she had the chemo treatments they were much more "shotgun". I always felt the effects of chemo was worse than the cancer. Her doctor agreed but it was the best they had at the time. Speedy recovery to Mrs Luddite. I'll pass on your wishes buddy. |

Just counting on medical science is far less than half the process. We all hope for a speedy recovery so have her get back on that horse, figuratively and literally ;-) I think my wife was already trying to work the kinks out of her arm in a couple weeks but taking it easy. It was nothing like the 6 weeks the doctor wanted. If you avoid the pain pills your body will tell you what's right. A actually think being too doped up causes more injury because you don't realize your body is talking to you. |
