Maxine Breaks Shoulder Bone -- Moved From Injured Reserves List to Out for the Season

This morning (Monday) we went for an office visit with “G&V’s” neighbor, the orthopaedic surgeon I mentioned in a prior post (the one who came to their house to examine Maxine). The doctor, as a favor to our friends, fit Maxine in that morning. Her X-ray showed two breaks in one of her shoulder bones. No torn rotator cuff. No looming surgery. But, she has to guard her shoulder and let the bone heal for the next 6 (!) weeks. Lots of discomfort now and physical therapy looming. In the scheme of things, a serious injury. But, we feel lucky because it could have been much worse. And, we feel incredibly lucky that, through our friends, we were able to connect with a fantastic doctor who made time for us and treated Maxine so well!
