You break a bone

Douglas says Hi,

Let’s talk about what happens when you break a bone.  Right after it broke I stood up.  My first thought was that I had to have surgery.  I felt like I didn’t want to tell anyone, and I cried.  My Daddy grabbed me up, and I told him it hurt and that it was broken.

I was scared but it was OK

 He told me it would be OK. He said we would go to the doctor and they would fix it in no time and that he didn’t think I would get a shot. My arm was bent a little, but nothing was sticking out. It felt bad and it hurt a little.



When we got to the hospital we went in the emergency room. They looked at my arm and then took pictures of it called x-rays. The x-rays showed my bones and you could see the break. They pricked my good arm with an IV to put some medicine in my body. I think this was the part that hurt the worst, but not for long. The medicine made my arm feel better and kind of put me to sleep. Then the doctor came. He looked at the x-rays and put my bones back in place while I was sleeping.

When I woke up everything was better. I was still kinda woozy, but my arm felt better and it was in a soft cast and a sling. It took a while to wake up and tell them how I felt, but after that I rolled out to the car in a wheelchair, and went home.

Long night, ready to go home

I had to sleep kind of funny with my arm up, but other than that everything was normal. They gave me some medicine for pain that helped me to sleep. I only needed the medicine for a day.

This is me the next day at lunch...no big deal

Talk to ya soon
