Pretty Sure I Just Broke My Arm

[Pogre]

Just my radius. Ulna seems okay.

 

[Kleinst]

System for communicating with radiology is down. Nurse practitioner says it definitely looks broken tho so they're splinting it. When they get their system sorted they'll call me tomorrow and refer me to an ortho.

Bummer, sounds like a "I waited all night for your to tell me what?" moment. Hope you feel better soon

Jesus christ man. They did the x rays a half hour ago and I still have no clue what's going on. Been here over 3 f*cking hours now and don't know a damned thing still.

That's why we are treated as patients. Oh Yeah! We have to be patient. At one the nearest hospital from my apartment, the average waiting time before you are seen by a physician is between 5 and 6 hours. Really bad.
But here in Montreal, I can have access to private medicine clinics with efficient service. This is not free but I might just do that in the future if I'm getting pissed with the public system.

Oh I know that, was just wondering if he's continuing to use his 590s for the back

Sorry guys was posting my dream sub

These will be replacing the 590's in the front

They will be on stands to go directly under the screen.

For 2 reason 1 I don't want to stack these on the RBH subs where the monitors go won't work where my subs sound best so I'll run them like any regular setup as small with the LFE under the crossover going to the subs
2 I didn't want at this time to invest in a transperent screen it would have to be a floating screen

My surrounds are the new RBH SV-661W on wall speakers I'm so happy with those and they sound so good that I plan on using them with the RBH SV-831 R I will probably repurpose the JBL or sell them

Long term goals order the SV 661WR so I have all matching reference from RBH for my base 7 and then mount the SV 661WR onto the ceiling for my atmos

Then buy 2 more RBH SV1212NR for a total of four of them for my room for a full 7.4.4 RBH end game theater room dream speakers

Here's a pic of the SV-661W on wall in room as my surrounds

Ma

Man sorry to hear that look at the bright side though. If you take any time off you'll get all that time to play with your new RBH sub!

I don't think I worded that correctly.

They did get the x ray images, but their system for sharing it with the radiologist was down. You can see the break/crack in the image, but there was no one on staff to officially diagnose it. So I at least got the images taken and confirmation it is indeed broken. Gotta wait for a radiologist or doctor to look at the x rays and tell me how bad. There isn't a ton of swelling so I got my fingers crossed it's not bad and everything is more or less in place.

Lmao! " WE have to be patient" Nice! never thought of us being patient in a Doctors office waiting room full of patients being inpatient! they would all go out of business if every patient would stop being patient!

I would have advised to go to an emergency dept because ED physicians can read Xrays and get you set up with orthopedist, but you had already taken a step that was otherwise appropriate. Hopefully you have a problem that can just be treated with a cast and no manipulation. Did they put you in a temporary splint?

Damn, that's bad news to wake up to! I hope everything comes out okay!

Awww now thats just cheating bro!! Really nice HT room you have there! I do believe its better setup than @AcuDefTechGuy HT room. I don't believe he has those killer lounge recliners in his dedicated HT room.

Well since this the thread for ailments. I think I'm Covid positive. Woke up feeling awful. Achy as all hell, freezing chills, slight runny nose, and my temp is around 100. Gonna take 2 tests just to make sure.

That sounds like a radial head fracture. This should heal fine, as the intact ulnar stabilizes it.

I had that fracture about 50 years ago, and it healed fine. It happened on my first visit to Mayo in a late October snow storm. I was there for the fall clinical conferences. I slipped on some ice.

I agree with TLS sounds like a radial head fx. I'll try to find an image an post it. Tell me if it looks like yours. (I read a ton of films for urgent care and most of the PAs and especially NPs have no idea how to order x rays properly let alone examine a joint or know the treatment).

 

[Dan]

Did it look like this?

 

[Eppie]

Oh man, so sorry to hear about that Pogre. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

I can't remember, last night is a blur. I woke up sore as hell this morning tho. My head hurts and I'm pretty sure I broke my big toe too... I'm a mess. Taking the day off today.

Yes, they molded a splint around my arm and bandaged it up tight. I don't think any manipulation will be necessary, thank god.

I did wake up with a headache and not feeling so hot this morning. When I fell my arm took the brunt, but I did bounce my face off the sidewalk too. I have a scrape on my cheek and chin and having trouble chewing. My jaw is really sore. My big toe on my right foot is twice as big as my left one and I can't put any weight on it at all.

I didn't hurt like this last night. I was primarily focused on my arm, but some other stuff is making its presence known now. Funny how the body does that. I wasn't in any real pain for a few hours after it happened. I'm all jacked up now, lol.

Getting old, man. Watch out or one of those parts might just give up and fall off!
