Lauchlin slipped on the kitchen floor last night and, although she felt some pain at the time, it was not until 4:00 a.m. that agonizing muscle spasms in her left arm awakened her from her sleep.
Fortunately, our friend, Whitney, who is a nurse practitioner, loved us enough to make a house call at 6:30 this morning.
We ended up going to the ER (which is not nearly as dramatic as the show) after the major pain pills and muscle relaxers that she prescribed didn't exactly do the trick. We met Dr. Feelgood's evil (but, thankfully, fraternal) twin brother, Dr. Pokenprod, there, and the x-rays revealed that she has broken the head of her radius, shown here.
The doctor gave her an arm sling and a third prescription for pain medication. She's out cold, sleeping like a baby, and we're pretty sure that the darvocet, not Olivia's witty jokes, is to thank.
