Patient bulletin

Jan had stitches out of her arm on Monday and the wound dressed again. She’s still getting some pain but the swelling is going down and the bruising is fading. She went to work examining last evening. The gig was in the City near Wynyard Station so she went by train. I ran her to the station and collected her.

She will go to the fracture clinic in just over a week – I expect they will let her move her arm around more after that. I Googled her operation – it was an ORIF (Open Reduction Internal Fixation) to fix her broken radius and ulna. I was disappointed that the surgeon didn’t email her an x-ray of the break – maybe she can get a copy at the clinic!
