Traveled with my son to Boston to secure housing for a job move he is making at the beginning of February. While touring one house, the owner comes in and messes with the steam heat while we are upstairs. Covers the stairs in steam, unbeknownst to us. Walking down the stairs my son slips and falls, breaking his arm.
Spent the afternoon in the ER getting it diagnosed. Went to the Orthopedic doctor today. Long story made shorter - "This is serious. Lesions on the bone. Probably cancer. Maybe blood infection or bone inspection. DON'T WAIT til you move to Boston to have this looked at! Good luck!" Oh, the tests I think you should get will cost about $20,000....hope you have good insurance. (Present insurance isn't very good, insurance which starts Feb 1 is pretty good..)
How about we scare the crap out of a 25 year old, his father, mother and expectant wife.
He actually starts his new job next Wednesday with training in Denver and moves to Boston Feb 7. I really wonder how less than 30 days can make much of a difference.
Trying for a second opinion, but can't even get in to see an orthopedic doc in our home town for at least a week!
