Got to see the doctor as scheduled without waiting. He asked good questions, listened well, clearly explained my problem, and provided good post visit instructions with a number of options to speed up my path to healing.

This was my initial visit from an accident on the Fourth of July
Dr. Kannen very nice looked at the x-ray. Show me what was broken. Give me instructions to leave my arm in a slang. Take it out occasionally come back in four weeks. I don’t really know how the bone is supposed to move back into the correct position.
I’ve removed my sling so he can actually look at my arm
I know I’m know that one part of my arm that is broken, does it make sense that they only look at one part when my whole arm smashed into the ground, my wrist, my elbow, and each thing has to be dealt with separately separately. They’re all connected.
