Left AC Joint Separation

first off: we're going to Isla Mujeres, Mexico
a little island 5 miles NE of Cancun
second: here are the pics
he has some scrapes and stuff
but they weren't noteworthy for pics


see how the collarbone is sticking up
and the arm is dangling down?
well, all the ligaments holding those things
together were ripped (or "shattered")
leaving nothing holding the 2 together

the towel was b/c his armpit was getting sweaty

on percocet :)

this view looks worse

we haven't taken "after" pics

b/c they aren't very cool.

But we will have plenty of pics from mexico.

They did a gor-tex tape thing to fix it

see figures: 2-6 in the middle of the page.

i am now studying for ACLS for test tomorrow (0830-1630 boo)

then cleaning and then finishing last min packing.

BAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
