Saw my brother today. My SIL, K, said he worked this morning from home (because even a newly broken collarbone won't stop him from working). I went to a short play my younger niece was in and saw the whole family. My brother looks good, if like he is in a lot of pain. He had an appointment with the surgeon this afternoon - I might find out more this weekend. It is his right side collarbone - and he is right handed. So he's going to be curtailing a lot of activities for the forseeable future.
He's also probably not taking as much pain meds as he was prescribed, because none of us do. I never finish any prescription pain meds, when I had my hand surgery in college, after the wisdom teeth came out, I always have half a bottle left over because I usually did the half dose, nah, don't need it thing.
The play was part of a week long performing arts "camp" and other than the fact she refused to wear a costume, and refused to speak, she seems to have had an awesome time. I guess she loves to do everything leading up to the actual performance, and once there is an audience, forget it. Well, she is only five. And maybe the artistic tech side of theatre is where she is going to be more comfortable.
Still don't know what is going on for L's first birthday, but I have a wooden puzzle and two board books for him.
ETA Just talked to my mom - my brother broke his collarbone in four places and needs to be pinned or plated back together. He goes in for surgery on July 6th. It *would* heal on its own, except for the fact one of the pieces has gone from horizontal to vertical. He doesn't do things by halves, my brother. He doesn't like the pain meds, but the doctor has said if he doesn't want to take the percocet he can take Tylenol. No ibuprofen.
