Surgery for broken wrist

Kathy and I had a great weekend vacation to Destin Florida. We were leaving Destin Sunday and stopped in Pensacola for lunch and shopping on the beach. Long story short, Kathy took a fall on a curb not marked and the result is a broken bone in her foot and wrist. She received treatment at Gulf Breeze Baptist Hospital to put the wrist in a splint and the foot in a boot. We will be calling today for an appointment for Kathy to see an orthopadic specialist and hopefully have the rest of the treatment today. Kathy is already expecting to be out of work for a minimum of 6 weeks.

  • UPDATE: Kathy will have to have surgery Wednesday, July 30th. Dr. Ahmad will need to insert plates and screws into the wrist. The radius is broken at the joint and the ulna is fractured. For the broken bone in the foot, they outfitted her with a boot to keep the ankle stabilized.
