My 'significant other' Karen has bust her arm in a particularly bad spot, just below the shoulder joint, meaning that it cant be splinted or put in a cast, just a wrist sling and some pain relief. We're off to the fractures clinic on Thursday, where they will decide whether she needs a pin put in, or leave it to nature to heal.
Given her age **
and general health; and poor appetite, boosting her calcium levels and immune system may be a bit of a struggle.Any suggestions /tips on how to promote a good healing regime would be appreciated, bearing in mind I have an independently minded, stubborn and rather fidgety patient to keep an eye on.
