Hi Jewel ..... you sure had a time of it. As far as broken bones, the x-rays did not show anything, but my doctor is suspicious of that very end of my elbow .... thus the tennis elbow brace. It was very strange, when I took this "flying fall" (as I call it) and slammed onto the concrete, that was one of he few times I did not have on my Great Call necklace .... had I been wearing it, they would have detected a fall, come on and asked me, the ambulance would have come to take me to the hospital. Now I wish I'd had it on, and am wearing it 99% of the time now. Probably if I'd have done that, I'd have saved myself a whole lot of grief and pain by getting it all tended to at once, and an MRI would have seen any hairline fractures.
But ..... an "old lady" can still learn, and that was a lesson for sure! Also, my doctor told me that it takes longer for deeply bruised internal tissue to heal than it does bone. That was a surprise to me.
