BROKE MY ARM (RADIUS & ULNA)

My new prosthetic molded cast put on after I saw the Orthopedic Surgeon on the 9th Sept.....the cast below you can see was the worst cast the Orthopedic has ever seen and was appalled at how it was put on, it was put on incorrectly bending my wrist in a position it should not have been, so the Orthopedic sent me to get this new Prosthetic molded cast, it's great, I can adjust it as the swelling goes down. It will be on for at least another 4 weeks.

G'DAY EVERYONE

Sorry it has been a long time since I did a journal, but there has been a lot going on in my life and darlsy mums and the computer has been the last thing on my mine. I do appreciate everyone's concern for me and I am here to tell you I"m ok...................well sort of.
I broke my arm on the weekend, I broke the Ulna and the Radius in my left arm and it hurt a lot.
I was on camp with Camp Quality up at Mt. Hotham SNOWBOARDING when a bit of a storm came through whilst I was at the top of the mountain, a big wind gust got me a threw me side ways and the wind blew the snow away and I landed on hard ice..........ouch.
The snow patrol took me down the mountain to the Medical Center where they did an X-Ray on my arm and gave me pain killers.
Camp Quality phoned my darlsy mum and my mum and a friend drove up the next morning to Mt. Hotham to get me, the round trip took 9 hours, it is a very long drive from where we live and by the time we got back from Mt.Hotham it was 3 pm and mum took me to the Hospital.

Above is in the hospital near where we live, they had just put a temporary cast on my arm, it is split up each side, it is temporary until I see the Orthopedic Surgeon on Thursday 9th September.
Above is the doctor who had just put the cast on and is cutting each side because my arm is still swollen.

Above, I am in quite a bit of pain here, not exactly nice breaking both bones in your arm.

ABOVE feeling a little sore right now, some pain killers would be great, hopefully will let me sleep as I have had no sleep at all due to the pain.
As I said, I am going to the Orthopedic Surgeon on Thursday (the one who did my mums spinal surgery) he is nice, so I will know more then.
Again I am sorry for worrying everyone, because I have been gone so long, and I hope this will help you knowing that I am sort of OK (lol).
When I get the use of both arms back I will definitely do a better update for you all (very hard to type with one hand only - gets a bit tiring).
Please remember to go to my GUEST BOOK and sign it so that I know you have visited me.
