More x-rays

Queenee had more x-rays this afternoon. None of the ankle, which looks great (at least from the outside!), but of her ribs, sternum and right wrist. I've been bugging her to get the wrist x-rayed from the get-go and now she knows for sure that she has a fracture in her right wrist. Dr. Zaidi spoke to PopPop before we got home, so we don't know the details of exactly where or how bad it is, but it seems likely it is a hairline fracture that is similar to what happened with her ribs. The ribs look good and her lungs are excellent, so that was good news. The sore sternum is just a bruise and not a break, which is also great news, since a broken sternum can bend back and interfere with the heart. Finally, she mentioned the pain in her left arm, and Dr. Zaidi said it is not nerve damage, as Queenee feared, but a deep muscle hematoma. Basically, she's got a big ole bad bruise deep in the muscle tissue which will take some time to break down. Her instructions are to give her wrist and underarm more time to heal and not to bang them around. She should also be wearing that wrist brace to give the wrist some support, but what do I know?

She's in good spirits in general, getting a bit stir-crazy having to sit at home though. I get her out when I can, though not as often as she'd like. She is antsy to get back to work and they are all waiting anxiously for her to return.
