My poor Joe..
-warning semi-gory details-
He was hit by a car early this weekend.. didn't obviously break any bones, we've got to get followup x-rays done.but he crushed his leg pretty badly.. He's ok, and he's home right now, in a wheelchair.. we spent almost 12 hours in the ER though.. he was starting to get Compartment syndrome, -when the swelling is so severe that the veins are crushed, and circulation for the entire body stops.. it would have killed him, or they would've had to amputate his leg if the ambulance had arrived 2 minutes later..
So, they stuck giant needles all the way through his leg, and partially cut it open to release the pressure. he had to be on oxygen..
NOT FUN. good thing is that Tri-Care is covering it all.. one less thing to worry about
anyways, just keep us in your thoughts..
thanks, kat
