Default Eric has been hurt

Hi all-

Yesterday, Eric had a very bad fall and broke his ulna in three places near his right elbow. He had surgery yesterday afternoon to install a screw and wire to rebuild his ulna and put his radius bone back in the socket. (http://content.answers.com/main/cont...hd4/A4ulna.jpg). He's headed home this morning.

He's in pretty bad pain and will be bedridden for a few of days. Once the doctor is satisfied with the results of the surgery, she expects to put a cast on Tuesday. He's going to be in a cast for a number of weeks and will have to go through physical therapy after it comes off to try to regain as much movement in his right arm as possible.

I'm going to be in and out of the office today. I'm gathering up a lap desk, purchasing a marble mouse that he can use with his left hand and trying to find a voice recognition program that (hopefully) will help him use the computer.

He's taking everything in stride and handling this surprisingly well. He's an amazing guy who seems to only gets impatient when he can't get on his computer. My immediate goal is to try and get him set up so that he can use it when he wants.

Thanks in advance for your patience regarding support requests and keep him in your thoughts, please.

I'll let him know Larry.

Eric's wife let me take a look at his x-rays. Here's a shot of his elbow:
