Then to the Orthopedist..arrived 35 minutes early.
Filled out paperwork and waited..
Was shown into an exam room...she spoke to a nurse for a bit, and ... we waited.
Doc came in...
And made the judgment, that it was  fracture... would not need surgery, or a cast.  
She has to keep her right arm in the sling.
She can take a shower, but not to rotate the arm at the shoulder at  all, only bend it at the elbow.
We returned home.

This was my (last) night of working with Al who was with me the whole shift  (and next week, he shifts over to a Fri--Sunday shift) but and Jon was here but it was a bitch, because the dispatcher I relieved had done no prep, and I had rides to cover in two hours with no hope.
It was nasty.
Got all caught up by  ...22:00 or so.

July 27th, Wednesday Diary

I was up and down through the night, depending on what Merry wanted ... something to drink, to potty, to readjust herself...

Pills at 07:30, and she fell into a good sleep until 10:30.
She got up..with help, and ate some kind of breakfast, sat at the computer desk, and with my help, sent out a sad announcement on Fet about the death of her beloved mentor, HLB.
Back in the bedroom...
She played on her phone...
I watched House 2:16 and 2:17 on my tablet, while jumping up whenever she asked for something.
I went flat for a nap around 12:00
Still had to get up every hour or so to help her.
At 17:00 she asked me to get up because she had called her regular doctor who called in a stronger pain med to the pharmacy at WM, and wanted me to fetch it before work.
I got up...
Stitch was home, and announced he had successfully gotten the next two days off work, so he could babysit day and night time while I slept and went towork.
Showered ...dressed....
Car ... to WM...
In and out quickly,  home   1815.
Handed over the meds,  packed up, and 
out  18:38   At work  19:28.

"It" was very slow and quiet, which was good, as I was very tired...

July 26th, Tuesday diary

at work
So, the call from Stitch that came in just before midnight:
Merry had tripped over Donna, fallen, and broken her arm.
Stitch would be clueless about the broken arm thing, but Merry knew.
No cars at home, Stitch can't drive, Merry couldn't drive.  He called an ambulance.
I worked on getting a relief from work.
Den did not respond to text, nor did Al...Nor did Mik.
I waited,  and watched House  2:13, 14, 15, part of 16.
Den replied, around 2:00.  After a brief text conversation, he said, he could be at base by 03:00.
He indeed was, and I was out.
And at a hospital in LB I didn't knew existed, not far from LBM, by 3:30.
Stitch and Merry were in the waiting room. I got 'em, and got 'em in the car, and home  04:05.
Stitch and I set up BR2 for Merry.
Not BR1, as it was consistently too hot, night or day, AND Merry's cat would insist on jumping on Merry..which would not do.
We moved 'my chair' the rocker recliner into BR2,  then I fetched the portapotty chair, and brought it in also.
And managed to get Merry kind of comfortable.
I assisted her with meds, and after a good dose of Benadryl, she began dozing off.
Stitch had taken the day off work, so he was 'in charge' of daytime, while I prepped myself.
MDM:  what I had taken to work: apple, carrots, banana, e-bars, trail mix, and watched Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, 3 eps.
And I lay wake, until it was time to get up and head to Walmart, prescription in hand, with their pharmacy opening at 9.
I arrived there 8:45... was first in line to turn in Rx...   it was ready like 9:25... and I went straight home.
Slept in BR1  11 -- 14:00
Woke up in a sweat, moved to BR2 from 2 to 5.
Realized me going to work, wasn't going to 'work' at home,   
SO I called 'work' looking for the night off. 
I assume Al was coming in at 01, so this shouldn't be a problem.
Well, his schedule was completely changed.   
It mean, Den would have to stay the night, which he wound up doing.

I continued helping Merry as needed,  and got a bit of a nap.
I made our dinner... baking frozen corn dogs in the oven.
We watched three eps of Wayward Pines, leaving us the final episode ...broadcast 7/27... to be watched.... 
I helped her with her various pills.
We went to sleep....   23:30 ish.
