I don't think they put on casts for broken elbows. She's probably got the affected arm in a sling and elevating it when at rest. At least that's what I had to do when I broke mine. Plus, Vicodin.
I'm basically ok. I fell down and went "boom". so far no cast...the ER doctor just threw a sling and some pain pills at me and told me to make an appointment asap with an orthopedic surgeon. so...I'll be seeing him first thing tomorrow morning.
Oh Jeezus Christ woman!! Since we've been friends it's been one thing after another, I hope it's not me who's bringing this scourge of bad luck on you!
I'm really sorry to hear about your arm. If I wasn't so dang pregnant right now I'd offer help, but all I can offer is phone calls and goofy pictures right now!
thank you! i was at the dog park, and i can tell you that nothing breaks up a dog fight faster than a fat lady running up and doing a hard face-plant in the middle of it. sends 'em all yelping and scurrying off very very quickly.
Hey, I did something similar to that once...I just happened to be standing in the middle and the fight broke up because the dogs were able to bite me instead of each other. (The group of mothers with kids that were assembled at a nearby school bus stop were, I'm sure, impressed with the resulting colorful language.)
thanks. sorry about your accident. 34 years ago almost to the day i broke my right elbow in exactly the same manner. i got bucked off a horse then. this time, i fell when breaking up a dogfight. strange that my only broken bones have been animal-related.

Hope you were at least able to inflict some damage on the other guy/object... Elbow-shaped indentations, perhaps...
