Last Friday Kent hit his shoulder and went to urgent care. After a long weekend in pain, today he had his appointment with the orthopedist. The orthopedist confirmed that it was indeed fractured. I highlighted in yellow where the doctor said the bone had fractured off. The good news, no surgery. The not so good news...6-8 weeks for the bone to mend, a couple more months after that for the muscle to heal, and a full year before he will stop hurting. He has to ice, medicate, and live carefully but not immobilized. He can't lift kids, mow lawns, snow blow driveways, or really any manual labor with that arm. It is going to be a long year for both of us.
