VICKI!!!Get that X-Ray ASAP

[Guest guest]

Vicki,

You are not fine, do not pass GO until you see a doctor, quick-like.

If there's any doubt that you fractured your collarbone you need to

get in for x-rays ASAP.

When my neice was in highschool she was trying to preserve her record

of perfect attendance from 1st grade through graduation (she did) and

so she didn't go in until after class on the day she injured her

collarbone (something to do with her horse). The docs read my cousin

(her mom) the riot act saying that a broken collarbone can move around

and puncture an artery in the neck. It can be very dangerous and

should be examined right away.

Maybe it's pulled muscles, but geeze Louise, woman! In any case, going

eleven days without being able to put pressure on your elbow is too

much.

You need all of your strength all of the time, especially now.

If I have to, I'll jump in the car and drive 6 hours to take you to

the clinic myself! So there!

I'm worried about you, lady.
