I can't be having with this, Episode 5

Post by Maxus »

So, my sister just called.

She fractured her ankle in three places skating earlier tonight (it's 12:45 right now). The hospital decided to keep her overnight and do surgery in the morning.

Funny thing is, she's calm. Says she isn't even on painkillers because it isn't that bad.

So, I believe I won't be getting to sleep tonight.

Ack. That is totally worth dozens of sympathy points, and I would probably commiserate in more depth were I not about to get some sleep myself. Hope the surgery goes well.

Thanks. Well, I'm up. Might as well D&D. I just worked up a fairly scary combination.

An update for those who bother:

So, my sister came through surgery just fine. Another round of X-rays showed she had her ankle cracked, her heelbone broken through, and dislocated her foot. Surgery involved pins and plates, and went without a hitch. The doctors said it was one of the weirder breaks they'd seen, and the nurses were impressed that she could take the pain and didn't beg for painkillers before the operation or after (they knocked her out for surgery, though).

The problem is going to be afterwards. They told her she'd have at least ten days out of class, more if they said so. And in any case, her dorm is on the third floor. And none of her classes are on a ground floor.

Glad to hear the surgery went OK. Hopefully her coping skills are in tip-top shape and things go well for her (my mom's coping skills are straight ass - she's the kind of person who will saw a cast off her broken arm).
My son makes me laugh. Maybe he'll make you laugh, too.

You'd have to know my sister.

She's one of the most laidback, rational, and level-headed people in the world. She'll adjust. She'll likely be spending her recovery here at home, rather than at USM (two hours' or so driving away) where she broke her foot. Having people around all day who can give her a hand will help, too.

I expect her to make some serious progress on a few video games and books, and be irritable because she'll be behind on her classes and have to make up for it.

Further updatage:

She's fine. They put her on oral painkillers, and she'll be able to come home tomorrow. She has apparently also acquired Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Crutches). Mom said she flipped a crutch up to catch herself in a ninja-like move.

That sounds like Combat School (Crutches).

If she's got 6 BAB or more, you'd better hope she doesn't realize it and start hitting you to paralyze you.

Update: The sister is doing well. The hospital gave her a CD with her X-rays and other information on it. They even took X-rays after the surgery.

The idea is if something happens here, two hours away from the hospital she went to, all the information relevant to her foot will be handy to check.

She's also getting herself up to go around (at first, she needed some help). She seems to be more inclined to do things, too. At first, she said she could -feel- the weight in her foot, and that threw her off. But she went to the library and getting out of the house picked her mood up a lot.
