Broken forearm

oh bless your heart! My daughter thought she had broken hers last week, but it turned out that it was only torn ligaments. However, the doctor told her that it would probably have been better if she had broken something. She is in a cast to keep the ligaments still until they reattach. She was changing clothes and came down and hit her elbow on the edge of the counter. She said she thought she'd just bumped her funny bone. But the next morning her arm was swollen three times it's size and she had no feeling in her hand. Her fingers were cold. My sister, who is a nurse, took her to the doctor she works for. So she was able to get treatment quickly, even though it was the weekend. He told Lauren that all the tendons and ligaments from her elbow to her wrist were completely torn away from the bone. She's looking at 7-8 weeks in a cast and then another month of physical therapy. Hope you're healed completely soon!
