Trip To The Specialist

Happy Tuesday!! We were able to get into the orthopedic specialist without much delay. One office had this opening and another required a weeks wait for the swelling to go down. We jumped on the first one of course. Diagnosis broken and treatment is a cast for 4 weeks. Then another checkup with x-rays to see how the healing is going. Possibly another 4 weeks in a cast. Ryder did request a water proof cast it possible.

New technology
A waterproof sleeve to start the process.

The arrow is pointing to the fracture.
Who knew that there were so many bones in the wrist.
I learned something new today.

Black cast of course
Wrapped in a pad to avoid turning his clothes black as well.

He is all clear to swim and continue with normal activities. If it starts hurting then take it easy. He needs to drain the cast after swimming. Then if it needs to be dried get the hair dryer and on a cold setting let it dry the cast out for you. Best of all no shots. Let's hope we all survive.
