Husband broke his elbow Saturday :(

Hi everyone, my dh dislocated and broke his elbow yesterday. Poor guy. Does anyone know anything about this. We have to see a ortho doctor tomorrow, looks like he will need surgery on Tuesday or Wednesday. I feel so bad for him, and the kids just don’t understand. I may not be around the next week during all this, but I will try to pop in as I get time from taking care of him.

Any prayers would be appreciated. Glad we have our faith, it has been a tough week with all of us sick and now this.

Yikes!
I hope he's ok.
You and yours are in my thoughts

I hope he's feeling well soon. Hope you all are!
Oh, and I hope he was doing something manly when he had his accident so he has some future bragging rights.

wow that sounds like a painful place for a break. hope he is doing well

I know something about it ....... feel free to PM me if you need answers

Sorry to hear this happened

ack@!! I dont know nothin about it, but feel sorry for him.. ;(

and YOU!! good luck!

OUCH! Good luck with everything! Your family will be in my thoughts. I wish him luck with the surgery.

Thanks so much everyone, would you believe he fell in our back yard gathering golf balls???? He is crazy and we have a steep wooded backyard and he likes to hit balls back there and then go get them every so often and do it again.

He is just a nut, men and golf right???

He is worried sick about his game, lol.

He is on good drugs though, and this is a man who does not even take advil or have more than 1 beer at a time, so he is a scream.

He did get a sponge bath out of it from me, doctors orders, lol... he was so out of it him and the doctor had a great time writing the orders for that for me.

Ouch! Joints are always painful breaks! Hope Mr Chia heals quickly!

Thanks again everyone, I will be so glad when today is behind us and we know more what we are dealing with.

Ouchie! Hope he feels better soon...or gets good painkillers!

That's just terrible! It hurts just thinking about it!

Hi all, so glad I did not miss and invite while I had dh at the doctor. It is broken but no surgery for now. He has a chipped bone and they will give it a week and take another look at it. I am relieved

Ouch! I just saw this, I was lmao at you though. My hubby is the same with drugs and they gave him some good ones when he hurt his back. As bad as I felt that he was injured I sure did get my laughs with him all doped up.

What do they do for a chipped bone? Is he in a cast? Can he move his arm?

Oh and I tell everyone I broke my wrist snowboarding but the truth of it is I broke it getting off the damn ski lift

lol, the ski lift.

He is in a removable cast which is great, he can still shower and put it back on.

I must say it is tough having him home full time, now I have 4 four year olds.

I am not use to doing everything and I am so spoiled by a dh who is really good with the kids that when he can't it is rough. And it is his right arm and he is right handed.

It is going to be one long week, I will miss my computer time and peace, lol

He really wants to go back to work next week.

Glad he is not going to have surgery, maybe he will recover quickly!

LMAO @Tara...........I broke my collar bone when I fell off the couch.....I will not tell what i wa doing when I fell though. I told everyone I fell off a ladder.LOL

So sorry to hear he was hurt! I'm just getting caught up, but tell him to spend the time off work coming up with a good cover story. I'm thinking he was hit by a train, or attacked by a puma. Maybe hit by a train while fighting off a puma attack. That would explain why he didn't just get off the tracks.

How's he doing?
