Howdy, and thanks. It's the craziest thing. His arm and fractured neck don't give him any pain, etc. - except the inconvenience of the neck brace, and the hand being out of commission (use). But he apparently pulled a muscle in his shoulder blade area in his back that gives him fits every day. They did x-ray his shoulder blade in Colorado and found nothing broken. I'm thinking that it will smooth out in a week or so. I remember when I was in a motorcycle accident in 1977, I was sore all over for three weeks before I could get around without pain, etc. Of course, I was 23 years old then, too. Dad is 71.
His hand and arm are a mess, and they are doing another skin graft on the back of his hand tomorrow in Tyler on an Outpatient basis. We have to be there at 2 p.m. and surgery is scheduled at 4. He won't be able to eat or drink anything after midnight tonight. Because of his shoulder blade/back pain, they did say he could take his pain medication as needed though.
