        But still, couldn’t they do a better job of it? I never would have recognized it as an arm if you hadn’t said…Went back and read the post…OMG! I’m lucky I know brni at all!

        ya know, i’m sure they could have. i know the SHOULD have. one doctor months after the fact said they could do surgery, rebreak the arm and put a metal cuff around the bone but another doctor told him, “if it was me, i’d live with it. the risk of paralysis was too great.”
        so, he lives with constant pain.
        and never complains.
