My Husband Has 2 Fractured Ribs

He fell off of a ladder at work(12/23) and was rushed to the hoppital as he couldn't move and without being in soo much pain.  A Cat Scan showed he has 2 broken ribs and a  white spot in his liver. He will be having another CatScan in about a month to see what is going on with the liver. I hope everything goes all right. I am so worried for him. He is going to see  his Doctor today from his Emergency Care see what she says.

Re: My Husband Has 2 Fractured Ribs

So sorry to hear of his fall! How frightening for you!.  But, sometimes things happen that might be a blessing in disguise... they may never have found the spot on his liver if they had not taken that scan... I am sure it is nothing, but,  if it is something at least they caught it early!

Sorry to read about your husbands fall and injuries. Can't speak to the liver issue. Have had 5 fractured ribs in 4 different injuries. Hurt like he!! and can create problems trying to sleep, if lying down. Depending on the degree of fracture, they can take many months to heal.

 

Hope all goes well for him in his recovery and the liver is nothing serious.

Make sure he reports his injury to his employer and files the medical bills under Worker's Comp. ( our son is a claims examiner).  Hoping he heals quickly and that the spot on the liver is nothing serious.
