Ryan

In conversations with my daughter and my grandchildren's stepmother yesterday, I found out that my grandson's broken arm would not be casted. Both the orthopedist and the pediatric orthopedist agreed that the bone was not sufficiently out of place to require a cast. Instead, they put it in a hard splint, wrapped it all, and ordered no physical activity at all, including using the fingers of his left hand. He will go back in a week for another assessment. It will be hard to keep the little dude down, once he begins to feel better.

I guess Ryan is turning down the codeine medication because he doesn't like the way it makes him feel...dizzy and groggy. I suppose just a regular pain reliever would help. He will go back to school tomorrow. Wonder how all of that will work? He'll need help just going to the bathroom...

It's still warm today. Muggy, actually, with rain on the way. I will continue puttering around inside. LOTS to do outside, but it will have to wait!
