Matt fell on the ice right outside our house,looks like he broke his arm.They put him in a splint,gave him pain killers,he's got to see the orthopedic surgeon tomorrow🙁
 
That sucks. Broke my foot when I was younger. You never realize how important a limb is. What it his left or right arm? 😉

Yeah it is... he's bummed because it's his right elbow,he's right handed which makes playing his new Xbox 360 difficult and also results in having to have me or Red Dawn cut his food for him.

How is it a problem if his elbow is broken. You only need to use the fingers
 
somehow I managed to escape childhood, and hell all the way up till this very moment (knock).. without any breaks. Hell, no major injuries until I got stitches at around 18. 🙂 i think all the minor bumps, scrapes, sprains.. took up my injury allotment throughout life. 🙂

right now he's splinted and wrapped from his wrist to around mid-bicep and his fingers are pretty swollen.

i haven't break a bone yet.. *knocks on wood*

but dude, i suffered three concussions and two of them were serious. i was rushed to the hospital with everyone thinking i was in coma.

but hell, the worst painful i ever experience was ankle sprains throughout my basketball years. that made my right ankle successfully weak! i force myself to wear ankle brace every time i play basketball.
 
I guy I work with broke his elbow and they didn't cast it, just had it in a splint for a few a week or two I think and that was it.

I just served him hot coco and a snack with his bedtime medication🙂
 
I've broken my wrist, several fingers, nose, a couple of ribs and collarbone twice. Ribs are the worst, nose is the least bad.
 
Pain killers? Back in my day, I broke my arm and didn't see a doctor for two weeks. By then it had healed enough to keep it in a soft cast.

We also walked five miles to school every day in a blizzard, with grizzly bears roaming about. Back then we called them rare bears, because they'd eat you rare. That was the year Slim Puddlebury hit a whallop (a home run to you youngsters) over the louie (left to you youngsters) field wall and broke the window of Mr. O'Donnely's Model T. Luckily Calvin Coolidge had just vetoed that bastard McNary's bill and saved us all a bunch of dollars so it wasn't much of a problem to buy a replacement, the only sacrifice being my mother (god rest her soul) cutting back on Cupid's Bow for a couple of months.

holy crap i haven't been this lost since i tried reading kafka's 'judgment' in german
 
My right handed co-worker once told me that the worst part about breaking his right hand was that he had to learn to wipe his butt with his left. Although it's the elbow this time, good luck to your son!
 
i assume he is getting a 3-6 day splinting until swelling goes down and then will be casted?

I broke my elbow the first time and they casted immediately.
I broke my forearm the second time and they casted 3 days later.
