Well, I think I jinxed her. Just last month I was commenting that Janie had gone a whole year with no broken bones. One month later–you guessed it–she fell and broke her shoulder. Actually, the doctor said people don’t break their shoulders, they break the upper arm near the shoulder or they break one of several other bones that make up the shoulder. In Janie’s case, she broke the humerus–the arm bone–just below the ball joint. Needless to say, this is a discouraging development and a setback to regaining the activities she’d like to be able to do.  This is number 7 in 5 years.<\/p>\n

The good news, if there is any, is that she has seen the orthopedic doctor and he recommended against<\/span> surgery. He said that when the bone is in a reasonably good position, the results of surgery have not improved the results. So she will avoid having a wound to heal, anesthesia, etc. In fact, she is only using a sling. They can’t splint or cast the break. Healing will take a while and she is in pain, but she is in reasonably good spirits under the circumstances.<\/p>\n

We are still getting organized to accommodate her needs and limitations. We are incredibly thankful that Leslie was with us over the weekend when the break happened. Emma and Sarah were also with us, and helped out as well. Since Leslie had to return to work, I called Janie’s sister, Katie, who dropped what she was doing to come over and stay for a few days. Jess even offered to come up from San Francisco, but I think we will be OK once we get back in the swing of managing the injury.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, we will appreciate all your good thoughts!<\/p>\n
