Justin's Xrays




Here are some of the xrays that Justin had taken before and during his surgery. The head of his humerus almost broke completely off and then that part split into two different pieces. The Dr told Patricia that he put the bone together and took it apart about three different times because he didnt like how it looked.
In her great sense of humor, Trish said that Justin has a great admiration for the character Wolverine but he is trying to be like him in an expensive way. Besides....Justin's name is not Logan so he cant be wolverine!
The boy is a lightweight just like me when it comes to anesthesia. His surgery started at about 9AM and they didnt get him up to his recovery room until about 6PM. Patricia told him that the Dr. wanted to have a therapist come and move his arm while part of the block was still there. Justin opened his glazed over eyes and as they rolled towards the back of his head he said, "I dont want that..." It sounded like someone had wrapped his tounge in about 6 inches of gauze!
We are all grateful that he is ok and that things have worked out. If you hear him ever talk about riding another motorcycle, make sure and give him a nice punch to the LEFT shoulder!

What happened. I didn't hear about Justin's accident? I am glad everything went okay with the surgery.

He was on a motorcycle ride and he decided he would try to turn a street bike into a dirt bike. :)
Somehow he went off the road and did a flip over the front of the bike. He's pretty lucky all he broke was his arm.

Nice pics!!! I am sure he will be sore for quite a while. Just don't let him milk the injury too long Patricia! :) Get Better Soon!
