The aftermath

The Wife got her arm all patched up on Friday so I figured a follow-up was in order.  She fractured her left radius and ulna near her wrist joint.  The radius broke clear through and splintered a bit.  Her ulna has a few smaller cracks and separated from her wrist joint.  Here's the pre-surgery CT scan of her arm and wrist showing the fracture:
And here's the post-surgery x-rays:

And the post-surgery recuperation:
We also were greeted by a couple moose when we got home from the pre-operation appointment, you know, which is nice:

Must say, post-surgery pic looks much better than the pre-surgery one...there's just way too much hardware. I'm so glad to hear the repair went well, and am sending all sorts of warm, fuzzy, healing thoughts your way.
Love you guys,
OR Mom

Those images are incredible! It definitely looks like you are in good hands...not only with your doctor, but with Austin, Karta and Stanley always there to help you and cheer you up.:) Looking out your window and seeing moose in your backyard is the best! They must have known you needed a lift!
Can't wait to see you on Monday.
Love,
WI Mom
