3rd Broken Arm

Samantha had an accident on her bike and landed on her wrist. I knew right away it was broken. She wouldn't let me touch it, it swelled and it looked broken. Since we've had lots of experience with her breaking her arm we immediately put it in a brace and called Dr. Moore.
Dr. Moore asked her if she has something against her left arm because it's the third time she has broken it. He told us he'd never seen a break like it before.  As you can see in the picture he had to mold the cast with his fingers on the top of her arm to make sure the bone stayed in place. We go back in a week to make sure it hasn't shifted. 

Here she is, the day after, getting some R&R at Subie's house. 
 Here she is a couple of days later back to
 her old self but not yet good as new!
Doctor says it will take about 9 weeks to be good as new...
to be continued.
