That will severly impede computer games that use a mouse. Crud.<br /><br />On the bright side(for Alex that is), it will also impede school work. <br /><br />Everytime I think of Alex's broken clavical, I cringe. I can only imagine the pain. I am so, so sorry Alex. <br /><br />My advice -- really rest these first two weeks so that bone can start to knit. Rhiannon's piano teacher did not take this advice whe she recently broke her writs and had to go back in for surgery after two weeks to break and re-set the bone because it was not healing properly.

(that is...Alex might say "you don't!" (that is, the removal was NOT without pain). However, the guy who came into emerg right after us believed he had broken a bone in his hand. He was quite social with Alex, reporting that dislocated shoulders were really painful, but not as bad as dislocated hips... he knew of what he spoke, having had some 12 or 13 breaks in his body. He shared lots of good advice about when Alex could start strength training again. He was also the epitome of male stoicism, seeing quite blase about the injury. He had, as he predicted, broken something, so the doctors were busy getting a hold of the orthopedic surgeons who were going to have to come in (and put him under) in order to pin and set the break. Alex was happy to have avoided that outcome.... all of which to say, that the pain of shirt removal was better than other alternatives.Rebecca Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07835541074766008269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8784798779972837102.post-18744086551770475922013-03-27T15:27:45.513-06:002013-03-27T15:27:45.513-06:00I want to know.
