Broken shoulder now with pneumonia. Mon, 03/2/09 11:18 PM (permalink)
Sunday night Picky Peggy, PP, fell in the dining room of our house and broke her left arm/shoulder in multiple places. Actually the humerus at the top just below the ball and also the ball itself in multiple places. She was taken to Winchester, Va. ER and treated and stabilized. Monday morning she was transported to Inova Fairfax (near DC) because of 1 our HMO and 2 the orthopedic surgeon at Winchester recommended it because of the type of break. That and her other medical conditions.

      Oh, God! A busted shoulder is absolutely no fun at all. I've been down that road. It's going to hurt for a while. I wish her the very best.

                    Hello All,
                    Mike S. your wife has my sympathy and good thoughts.
                    Things that happen like like that seem to make no sense
                    and just create a huge momentary bit of chaos.
                    I feel for PP and you, and am praying healing is fast and clean.
                    Now, this is just a foolish line, so take it so...

                          Thanks ya'all.

                          She wound up not having surgery. Her emphysema is so bad they decided the anesthesia could kill. So they will let it heal naturally and she'll go through physical therapy.

                              Mike , I tried to send you a Email but you do not receive them.  I have been in Salt Lake City for several days and I was aware of your situation but due to my travels, I was unable to respond.  I hope and understand that your wife is doing some better.  I understand family stress and I sincerely hope all is going well and will turn out well.
                               
                              Also, Thanks to Greymo for some needed corrections.
                               
                              My best.

                                  Friday morning she woke up with pneuamonia. She now has that and sceptasimia. Because of her long time on-going medical problems she has a DNR order.

                                  The Drs, are treating her with antibiotics and 100% oxygen with a bi-pap machine. No intubation, no cpr.

                                        Saturday she was more lucid but the latest x-ray didn't show any improvement from 24 hours earlier. Both x-rays were taken right at 1630 hours. So after 24 hours of heavy duty antibiotics there wasn't any change.

                                                      Mike,

                                                      I don't post here often anymore, but am very concerned for you and your family. My most heartfelt prayers and best wishes for her recovery.
