So here's a report on the state of play in Modern Medicine.
Sometimes it feels like the medicos are just playing but then when we are sick or hurt we all want instant gratification.
So, as I reported yesterday, our daughter . . currently known here as the BAD or Beautiful Artistic Daughter . . took a tumble coming out of an appointment and broke a bone in or around the elbow of her left arm.
She points out that she was sober at the time.
I point out that her left arm is her dominant arm.
She is seriously left-handed.
And she's an artist!
But she went to a hospital emergency room and got splinted and taped and her arm looked like this.

Then yesterday she got a new binding and this is the result.
That apparatus looks like it was put on her in Dr. Frankenstein's laboratory!
(She, incidentally, still looks beautiful.)
She's currently waiting to be scheduled for a CT scan, also known as a CAT scan.
(Seems appropriate for a Cat Lady.)
That's to determine what method of treatment will best be used to heal her arm.
Could be surgery.
Could just be keeping that wicked looking brace on and letting it heal by itself.
So, at this point, four days after her accident, she still doesn't know, and she doesn't know when she'll know.
It's a very frustrating ordeal.
But she's a fairly patient lady.
As long as the pain pills hold out.
