One Tough Cookie

Early last week I noticed that Lolipop was favoring her left arm.  She never said it hurt.  Thursday I checked her grip and palpitated her forearm because she continued to favor it.  Her grip was less than her right hands and she complained that it hurt when I touched the area of a previous fracture.  Once you break a bone the area can continue to be painful with weather changes, as you grow, etc.  Wanting to be sure that it wasn't a fracture we went to get x-rays Friday (well that didn't happen, long, long story) and so this afternoon Lolipop and I ran to the ortho.  Yep, it's fractured.  Her left radius is fractured and separated, but it's not acute and if you didn't see the ace bandage that the ortho sent us home with would you even guess?!

 

We will be headed back to Dallas at some point later this week to see her orthopedic specialist.
